Picture it: You're putting the finishing touches on the Thanksgiving menu, and you plug in the mixer to make some whipped cream for the perfectly baked Thanksgiving pies and—poof—you blow a fuse and the electricity goes out. Or, even worse, you have a house full of people and suddenly there's an unsavory plumbing problem (thanks a lot, Uncle Mike!) that needs immediate attention. Before you grab your keys and make a run to Lowe's for the necessary supplies to fix the issue and get your Turkey Day back on track, you remember that lots of stores are staying closed on November 23 this year, which leaves you wondering if the hardware store is even open on Thanksgiving Day.
Is Lowe's Open on Thanksgiving 2023?
Unfortunately, you'll have to call an emergency electrician or plumber if you don't have the right tools to fix your problem (or even search "how to unclog a toilet without a plunger"). Like other major chain retailers like Target and Walmart, Lowe's locations are closed on Thanksgiving Day 2023. A spokesperson confirmed to Country Living, "Our stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, as they have been in years past, to ensure our customers and associates have time to enjoy special time at home with their loved ones." They'll be back open bright and early on November 24 for all of the Black Friday shoppers.
