Lowe’s is about to take a short break—but not for long. The popular home improvement chain is closing all of its stores across the U.S. for one day only, and if you shop there often, you will want to know the exact date and plan ahead.
When will Lowe’s stores close for Easter in 2025?
Lowe’s will close all 1,700 of its stores on Sunday, April 20, 2025, for the Easter holiday. That means for 24 hours, you will not be able to walk into a Lowe’s store to shop for your tools, home improvement items, garden supplies, or any other products you might need.
This is not a new development. Lowe’s has always given their employees a chance to rest and enjoy Easter with their family.
Why is Lowe’s closing on Easter Sunday?
Across the world, some who claim to be christians consider Easter as one of the most important holidays including some christians in the United States. For these ones, it is a time to pause, reflect, and be with loved ones.
Lowe’s wants to support this idea by giving its workers the day off. According to the company, this move supports employee well-being, family time, and rest—values that are important both for life and for a healthy workplace.
“We believe in allowing our associates to spend meaningful time with their loved ones during special holidays,” said a Lowe’s representative.
Will Lowe’s reopen after Easter?
Yes, absolutely. Lowe’s will reopen on Monday, April 21, 2025, with normal store hours. This is just a one-day closure, not a long break. So do not worry—this will not affect product availability in the long run.
What should customers do before the closing?
To avoid running into any last-minute problems, here are a few things you can do:
- Shop early: Make sure you buy all the tools, paint, or garden items you need before April 20.
- Check store hours: Visit your local Lowe’s in the days leading up to Easter to confirm what time they open and close.
- Consider ordering online: Some services may still be available through Lowe’s website.
Are other stores closing on Easter too?
Yes, Lowe’s is not the only one taking a break on Easter. Other big retailers like Costco, Target, Marshalls, and Sam’s Club will also be closed on April 20, 2025. Just like Lowe’s, they will be back to normal business hours the next day.
Is Easter Sunday a federal holiday?
Surprisingly, Easter Sunday is not a federal holiday. That means businesses are not required to close and employees do not automatically get overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act. But some companies, like Lowe’s, still choose to close out of respect for the holiday.
Can you still shop online at Lowe’s on Easter?
Lowe’s has not made a formal announcement about whether online shopping will be available on April 20. But usually, online browsing and ordering are still possible even when the physical stores are closed.
So if you forget something, you might still be able to order it online. But it is always safer to plan ahead.
