Most Lowe’s stores run 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday to Saturday and 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday. The early weekday opening is there for contractors, and the first couple of hours of the day are a very different store from the afternoon. Below you’ll find opening hours today, closing times, Sunday hours, the tool rental and pro desk schedules, and every holiday.
Lowe’s and Home Depot keep near-identical schedules, which is not a coincidence in a market where the two compete directly on the same contractor and homeowner traffic.
Lowe’s hours today at a glance
Lowe’s Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
Sunday is the only day the schedule changes, opening two hours later and closing two hours earlier. Lowe’s hours tomorrow will match today unless tomorrow is a Sunday or one of the two holiday closures.
Lowe’s Delivery Windows and Installation Scheduling
For a lot of people the question behind Lowe’s hours is not when the building opens but when something will arrive or when someone will install it, and those run on their own calendars entirely. Appliance and large-item delivery generally operates on a window rather than a time, commonly a four-hour slot somewhere between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and the delivery team works independently of the store’s opening hours.
Installation is a third schedule again. Measurement appointments for flooring, countertops, windows and doors are usually booked on weekdays during business hours and handled by contracted installers rather than store employees, which is why rescheduling one goes through a call center instead of the store you bought from.
Order pickup sits somewhere in between. Standard pickup follows store hours, but anything requiring a forklift, which includes lumber bundles, appliances, bagged materials on pallets and most large boxed items, depends on a yard employee being on shift. Those shifts end before the store does, so a 9:00 PM pickup of a pallet is not realistic even though the doors are open until 10:00 PM.
Lowe’s Closing Hours
The building closing and the counters inside it closing are two different times, and the second one comes first. Published closing times are in the table above, and the department times further down are the ones that matter if you need a particular service.

Lowe’s Department Hours
Not every Lowe’s offers tool rental, so check before planning around it. Where it exists, returns happen during rental counter hours. The yard is the other one to watch, since anything needing a forklift has a hard cutoff earlier than closing time.
Lowe’s Holiday Hours 2026
Lowe’s closes on 2 of the fifteen dates below. Everything else runs either regular hours or an early close, and the table covers all of them.
Lowe’s New Year’s Day Hours
January 1st is open at most Lowe’s stores, though a later opening or earlier close is common enough to be worth a check if you are heading out first thing.
Lowe’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Hours
Expect regular hours at Lowe’s on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Nothing changes operationally, though a holiday weekend usually means heavier traffic on the Saturday and Sunday either side of it. The garden center and pro desk close earlier than the store on holidays.
Lowe’s Presidents Day Hours
Lowe’s treats Presidents Day as a normal day. A holiday Monday tends to feel like a Saturday inside the store, so the middle of the day gets crowded.
Lowe’s Easter Sunday Hours
Easter Sunday is open at the large majority of Lowe’s stores, on the usual 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Sunday schedule, with a scattering of locations choosing to close. The timing lands squarely in planting season, which means the outdoor departments carry most of the weekend’s traffic.
Lowe’s Memorial Day Hours
Lowe’s runs normal hours on Memorial Day. Treat it as one of the three or four heaviest weekends on the calendar: the long weekend arrives just as summer projects start, and mulch, plants and lumber all move in volume from the moment the doors open.
Lowe’s Independence Day Hours
Independence Day is a regular operating day at most Lowe’s stores, although a minority trim the evening. Project traffic makes it noticeably heavier than a standard summer Friday or Saturday would be.
Lowe’s Labor Day Hours
Labor Day is open on the usual schedule. It functions as the bookend to Memorial Day, catching everyone trying to finish outdoor work before the weather turns, and the volume reflects that.
Lowe’s Columbus Day Hours
There is no change to Lowe’s hours on Columbus Day. A holiday Monday tends to feel like a Saturday inside the store, so the middle of the day gets crowded.
Lowe’s Veterans Day Hours
Stores run the standard schedule on Veterans Day. It is a federal holiday, but not one the chain observes, so the doors open at 6:00 AM and close at 10:00 PM as usual. The garden center and pro desk close earlier than the store on holidays.
Lowe’s Thanksgiving Day Hours
Nothing opens on Thanksgiving. Lowe’s shuts every location for the day and resumes on Black Friday, which carries real weight here for appliances, power tools and Christmas decor rather than being an afterthought.
Lowe’s Black Friday Hours
Black Friday opens at the standard 6:00 AM, which is already ahead of most of the retail calendar. Appliances and tools are the genuine draw, and the opening two hours see the heaviest footfall the store gets all year.
Lowe’s Cyber Monday Hours
Expect regular hours at Lowe’s on Cyber Monday. Doors open at 6:00 AM and close at 10:00 PM, the same as any other day of the week. The garden center and pro desk close earlier than the store on holidays.
Lowe’s Christmas Eve Hours
December 24th is a short day, with most stores locking up between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM against an unchanged 6:00 AM start. Anything involving the rental counter needs handling in the morning, since that closes earlier than the building.
Lowe’s Christmas Day Hours
Christmas Day is a full closure chain-wide. Doors reopen December 26th on the regular schedule, with returns and marked-down seasonal stock driving most of that day’s traffic.
Lowe’s New Year’s Eve Hours
New Year’s Eve brings an early close at a lot of locations, often around 6:00 PM. The pro desk and rental counter wind down considerably sooner than that.
Lowe’s Saturday and Sunday Hours
Lowe’s Saturday hours
Lowe’s is open 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday, which is the same as a weekday. Weekend traffic concentrates in the middle of the day, so the morning and the last hour or two before close are the quieter halves of it.
Lowe’s Sunday hours
Sunday hours at Lowe’s are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which is shorter than the rest of the week. Along with Saturday afternoon this is the busiest stretch of the week. An early Sunday trip avoids most of it, and staffing on the service side is lighter all day regardless.
How to Check Lowe’s Hours Before You Go
The times above hold at most Lowe’s locations, though yours can differ and holiday hours are frequently decided at store level. If the trip matters, confirm it one of these three ways:
- The official Lowe’s locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- The location’s Google Business listing, which usually shows special holiday hours a week or two in advance and makes a good cross-check.
- A phone call. It is the only one of the three that catches a same-day change, whether that is weather, staffing or a local emergency.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Lowe’s is at its busiest and least likely to pick up the phone quickly.
Lowe’s Busiest Times and When to Go
The first two hours belong to the trades. The store is calm out on the aisles even while the pro desk and yard are working hard, which makes it a good time for a homeowner who knows what they want. From mid morning onward the mix changes, and Saturday between about 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM is the busiest window the chain produces.
Spring weekends are the annual peak, driven entirely by the garden center. The best quiet windows are weekday afternoons between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM and weekday evenings after 7:00 PM, with the caveat that staffed stations may have closed. If you need advice rather than just product, a weekday morning gets you someone who is not already juggling three customers.
Alternative Stores to Lowe’s
These are the stores people switch to when Lowe’s is closed or too far. Ace Hardware Hours, Harbor Freight Hours and Home Depot Hours are the closest matches, and their hours are set independently.
Hours at each of these are set independently of Lowe’s, so check the one you plan to visit rather than assuming a shared schedule.
Lowe’s Hours FAQ
What time does Lowe’s open?
Doors go up at 6:00 AM Monday through Saturday at the typical store, with Sunday pushed back to 8:00 AM. That pre-dawn weekday start exists for the contractor crowd.
What time does Lowe’s close?
10:00 PM six days a week, dropping to 8:00 PM on Sunday. Smaller-market stores sometimes shut at 9:00 PM instead.
What are Lowe’s Sunday hours?
8:00 AM to 8:00 PM is the norm. Sunday loses two hours off each end of the weekday schedule, and it is the only day of the week that differs at all.
Is Lowe’s open today?
Unless the date is Thanksgiving or Christmas, yes. Those two are the entire list of annual closures.
What are Lowe’s hours tomorrow?
Carry today’s times over, with two exceptions: a Sunday tomorrow means 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Thanksgiving or Christmas means closed.
What holidays is Lowe’s closed?
Only two: Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Every other federal holiday, including the three summer long weekends, is a normal operating day.
Is Lowe’s open on Thanksgiving?
No. The chain shuts completely and picks back up on Black Friday morning at the usual 6:00 AM.
What time does Lowe’s close on Christmas Eve?
Somewhere around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM at most stores, with the 6:00 AM opening untouched. Rental counters shut sooner, so handle any return before lunch.
What are Lowe’s tool rental hours?
Where it is offered, roughly 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and shorter at weekends. Not all stores have a rental counter. Returns land during counter hours, which is the detail that costs people an extra day.
What are Lowe’s pro desk hours?
Figure on 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM through the week and shorter at weekends. The desk is built around contractor accounts, and those customers are long gone by evening.
Does the Lowe’s garden center close before the store?
It does, typically an hour or more ahead. The flip side is spring, when a lot of stores open a separate outdoor garden gate before the main entrance.
Can I get lumber cut right before closing?
Usually no. Cutting needs someone assigned to the saw, and that assignment ends before the doors do. Build in an hour of margin for anything involving a staffed station.
Is Lowe’s open 24 hours?
Never. 6:00 AM is as early as it gets and 10:00 PM is the latest close anywhere in the chain.
Are Lowe’s and Home Depot hours the same?
Near enough that you can plan around either. Both run the 6:00 AM weekday start, both shorten Sunday, and both close for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Where they differ is store by store rather than chain by chain.
When is Lowe’s least busy?
The 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM stretch midweek. Pre-dawn weekdays are also calm out on the aisles, even while the pro desk is working flat out.
Is Lowe’s busy on Memorial Day?
Extremely. Give people three days off at the start of project season and they all arrive at once. Labor Day weekend does the same thing at the other end of summer.
Hours are checked against Lowe’s store listings and reviewed around each federal holiday. Tool rental is not offered at every location, and tool rental, pro desk and garden center hours are set at store level, so confirm those directly if your trip depends on one.
