Default Calgary Lowe’s & Rona Closures: Clearance Sale

I was passing the Shawnessey Lowes and dropped in figuring there would be a sale due to their pending closure in late January. The whole place is 20% to 59% off ticketed prices, so I figured a heads-up was in order for you all.

Lots of stuff in plumbing. Pipe & fittings are 30% off while the repair bits are 40% off. Van stock will be bumping up on the common items that are cheaper than I get wholesale.

Chainsaws, including Husqvarna are only 20% off, same with all of the power tools.

Corporate thinking can boggle the mind . They just opened a new Lowes in Red Deer and the Rona will be closing. The late remnant of buying Totem. I'll have to see what's on sale.

Got a stellar deal on some sylvania LED 2700K non-dimmable light bulbs, an 8 pack was $3.49 after discounts as it was on clearance before the extra 20%. I won’t need to buy any of those for a spell ..... dimmable were a still a
deal at a whopping $6.33 for 4.

Really Rona in Red Deer is closing? Then there will be no lumber yard in North Red Deer, just Lowe’s and Home Depot next to each other in the south.

I will check out the lumber section hopefully tomorrow in the NE Calgary location. Need to build some shelves in basement storage room. Problem is GREY CUP festivities are on and I'm going to the game. Maybe Monday

Looks like that location is OK. I'll list the affected Alberta stores for posterity so people don't go the their local store that's not closing and expect a clearance sale:

Calgary: Lowe's Shawnessy, Midnapore Rona

Airdrie: Rona

St Albert : Rona

Sherwood Park: Rona

Edmonton: Ellerslie Rd (1003 Parsons Rd)
