This year marks Lowe’s 100th birthday, and reaching our centennial is a momentous occasion.
To celebrate our heritage, we’ve created a special landing page to serve as a hub for all things Lowe’s centennial. You’ll find historical photos, associate features, fun facts and dynamic content showing the evolution of Lowe’s over time and more.
For Lowe’s, this is a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future. And it’s also an opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday by serving the community – something that’s been at the heart of everything the company has done since its humble beginning as a small-town hardware store.
Lowe’s announced the launch of 100 Hometowns, an initiative to complete 100 impact projects this year as part of a $10 million commitment to give back.
As communities come together and regain their footing, Lowe’s is inviting people nationwide to nominate a hometown project in need of restoration, sharing their hometown stories and helping to demonstrate the possibility all neighborhoods hold. Lowe’s will award 100 grants in June to help recipients complete projects to build, repair, beautify, inspire and improve 100 communities across America.
The projects are expected to be completed this year, and as they come to life, they’ll be featured alongside other wide-ranging storytelling efforts on the centennial landing page.
“For generations, serving the community has been a core part of Lowe’s culture and values,” said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s president and CEO. “In approaching our centennial and particularly in the wake of such a challenging period for our country, we decided to commemorate this milestone by taking on 100 community improvement projects, with local associate volunteers lending a hand across the nation.
“We believe in the power of possibility and have an unwavering commitment to making homes better for all, now and for the next 100 years.”
