Lowe’s will open five stores in three states this year featuring the company’s new showroom design, the home improvement chain announced this week.
The five new stores will open in Texas, Kentucky and Florida, according to a news release emailed to USA TODAY.
Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, Lowe’s operates more than 1,750 home improvement stores, 540 branches and 120 distribution centers. Texas and Florida have the highest number of Lowe’s home improvement stores in the nation.
The company said Lowe’s “continues to advance its Total Home strategy in a rapidly growing market,” adding that the brand’s fourth-quarter 2025 same-store sales will increase 1.3%.
Here’s what we know about the new store opening in 2026.
Where will Lowe’s stores open in 2026?
According to information gathered from Lowe’s and the company’s website, the next store is scheduled to open in 2026.
In response to inquiries, Lowe’s did not immediately provide opening dates for the five stores scheduled to open in 2026. But the company said its Port St. Lucie, Fla., store will open in June.
What can customers expect at new Lowe’s stores?
The first store to open this year will be in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and will be the brand’s 133rd store in the Sunshine State. This will be the second Lowe’s in the city. The location also includes a new showroom design with digital signage to display promotional products, more interactive product displays and a new countertop experience with larger slabs where customers can see unique stripes and variations.
“Port St. Lucie is growing rapidly, and we’re excited to support our neighbors and local businesses by providing everything they need for projects large and small,” District Manager Christian Redman said in a news release. “This store is built to provide the value, convenience and service our community has come to expect from Lowe’s.”
The store is the first of five new Lowe’s stores opening across the country this year and will feature a redesigned kitchen and appliance showroom.
New features announced by Lowe’s include:
- Centralized sales desk for installation and service projects with digital signage showcasing promotional products.
- Product display with vignettes of areas throughout the home.
- Signs and QR codes that allow customers to access online products.
- Links to tools like style quizzes, budget calculators, 3D visualizers, and more.
- A self-service paint kiosk to streamline paint ordering.
- Purchase a Pick Up Online Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) zone and get it right away.
The remaining four Lowe’s stores opening this year will also adopt the new showroom design, and a limited number of existing Lowe’s stores will also be upgraded with the new design this year, Lowe’s said in a news release.
