While many think of Memorial Day as a time to honor our troops or to pull out the barbecue grill and have friends over, some folks have other plans.
If your day looks more like working on a bathroom renovation, building a deck for entertaining, or planting new flowers in your garden, you may be wondering, “Is Lowe’s open on Memorial Day?”

Lowe’s Memorial Day hours
The good news for eager DIY fans is that Lowe’s (LOW)  is open on Memorial Day. Its hours today are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., although you may want to call your local Lowe’s to verify, as some store hours can vary based on location.
Another thing to remember is that since everyone is off on Memorial Day, the stores that are open can be more crowded than usual. So if you do decide to make a trip over to Lowe’s, be prepared.
Lowe’s Memorial Day sales
Much like fellow DIY chain The Home Depot, Lowe’s Memorial Day sales are also in full swing today. A few of the really standout deals include outdoor grills, patio furniture, and 40% off appliances.Â
