Lowe's closes chain-wide on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day — the same two holidays as its main rival Home Depot — while staying open for extended hours through nearly every other holiday.
Open on Nearly Every Other Holiday
Lowe's is known for staying open from early morning to late at night on holidays like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, when many other retailers run reduced schedules. Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are the clear exceptions — the only two days Lowe's closes every location to give employees time with their families.
