Lowe’s Closing 20 Stores In 15 States

Not so good news :(

http://www.facebook.com/lowes "Closing stores is never easy given the impact on hard–working employees and local communities, however we have made the tough decision to close 20 Lowe’s stores as part of the company’s efforts to continue to manage our business profitably. Our employees remain top of mind during this time and will receive pay and benefits for an additional 60-90 days. In addition, we are working with local government agencies to help make employees’ transition as smooth as possible. While we may not have a location that is as convenient near you, we will continue to serve your needs on lowes.com."
