Newsroom.Lowes.com is your go-to source for news and information
about Lowe's. Through a mix of feature stories and rich multimedia
content, Open House provides an inside look at the unique,
innovative and inspirational ways Lowe's serves customers and
communities.
"Our story is much bigger than the products and services we
sell," said Robert Niblock, Lowe's
chairman, president and CEO. "We're a company of more than a
quarter of a million employees who go to great lengths to help
customers love the places they call home. These are the stories we
are inspired by and we hope will inspire others."
Visitors to Open House can view regularly refreshed content in
four focus areas (Serving Communities, Inspiring People, Fresh
Thinking and Inside Lowe's). In each of these areas, the site
showcases the stories of people who are doing remarkable
things.
You'll watch how a Lowe's employee and his therapy dog found
their new jobs a perfect fit, and see how Lowe's is using
autonomous robots, virtual reality and wearable technology to
transform the customer experience. You'll find out why a Lowe's ad
likely leaves you feeling nostalgic, and learn how Lowe's and the
Boys & Girls Clubs are helping provide safe havens for kids in
all 50 states.
"We wanted to create a place where we could build a deeper
connection to the customers and communities we serve," said
Colleen Penhall, Lowe's vice
president of corporate communications. "Whether people are looking
to get a peek inside Lowe's, a chance to see what's next in retail
or what's literally happening around the corner in their community,
we look forward to sharing those stories in meaningful and
compelling ways."
