Lowe's is closing dozens of stores across the United States and Canada.
In a statement, the home-improvement retailer described the stores as "underperforming."
Most of the stores set to close won't shut their doors permanently until February.
Lowe's is closing dozens of stores throughout the United States and Canada.
The company said in a statement on Monday that in the US it would close 20 Lowe's stores across 13 states and that most associates at the affected stores "will be extended opportunities to transition to a similar role at a nearby Lowe's store."
But the closures aren't just happening in the US.
It will also close 31 locations in five Canadian provinces, including two Lowe's stores; 24 Rona stores, a Canadian retailer Lowe's acquired in 2016; one Reno-Depot, a Canadian home-supply store that Rona acquired in 2003; two offices in Mississauga, Ontario, and St. John's, Newfoundland; and two specialty facilities.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that workers at stores in Newfoundland were blindsided by the news, as were representatives of the Atlantic Canada Regional Council of Carpenters, Millwrights and Allied Workers, a union that represents numerous Rona employees.
A union representative told the CBC that 250 members were set to lose their jobs and that employees were called into a meeting and handed severance letters on Sunday.
In its statement, Lowe's described the stores as "underperforming" and said the closures were designed to "improve the overall health of its store portfolio." The stores are set to close by February 1, though some US stores are closing immediately.
"While decisions that impact our associates are never easy, the store closures are a necessary step in our strategic reassessment as we focus on building a stronger business," Marvin Ellison, Lowe's president and CEO, said in the statement.
