Lowe's to sell its Canadian retail business to Sycamore Partners

US-based home improvement retailer Lowe’s has signed a definitive agreement to sell its Canadian retail business to private equity firm Sycamore Partners.

Sycamore Partners will acquire the business for $400m in cash and a performance-based deferred consideration.

Based in Boucherville, Quebec, Lowe’s Canadian retail business operates a network of around 450 corporates and independent affiliate dealer stores.

These stores trade under different banners, including RONA, Lowe’s Canada, Réno-Dépôt and Dick’s Lumber.

--------------------

As Target found out, Canada may seem like a copy of the U.S., but our retail market is not the same. One of the big issues is, with the stretched out supply chain but only a ninth of the population of the States, the economics are different. The new company will retain the Lowe's branding but will do things our way.

It seems few people are aware that Lowe's main rival, Home Depot, is a major contributor to right wing causes, including to TFG himself, via its owner, billionaire Bernie Marcus.

If it's at all possible, shop at Lowe's rather than HD. I don't know where we'll go for our dry wall if Lowe's USA goes under. I sure as hell am not shopping at HD.
