Lowes Holiday Hours - bad marketing

[Steve]

I put off going to Lowes last night becuase their website says they were open until 10 PM on 12/26. Cool. I drove up at 8:59 thinking that I had an hour left. WRONG. They closed down at 9 PM anyhow. I guess they didn't get the memo from corporate that they needed to stay open for another hour! I had to go to target and settle for a temp solution to my problem.

Maybe my eyes are giving me problems? That looks like 10pm to me.

Hours are by region, not a basic hour range. It all depends on what the competition is doing. You have to type in the zip code to get correct hours, and even then, they are slow updating the website. The only thing that is correct is the time on the doors, and the time they give you on the phone.

Well, I did type in the zip code and it pulled up my local store with a banner that said something like "This store will be open ..." so that leads me to think that THAT store would be open. It was not typical hours, it was the special hours with super-early morning hours and late evening hours. They opened early, just didn't stay late.

Hmm...wierd, i have never seen that problem. I work for Lowes so i know how that can be, our holiday hours are always a little quirky. Something i might have to pay more attention to.
