A few highlights: NFL players Christian McCaffrey, Dak Prescott and Travis Kelce star in the latest from Lowe's. Kelce also appears, along with his brother Jason, in a Campbell's Chunky commercial.

A Lowe's employee resigned after a viral TikTok showed him struggling to retrieve a large box. That TikTok, which has 3.7 million views, shows the employee screaming for help. Lowe's said it took "prompt action" following the TikTok video, but did not elaborate.

The first Lowe's store, North Wilkesboro Hardware, opened in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in 1921 by Lucius Smith Lowe. After Lowe died in 1940, the business was inherited by his daughter, Ruth Buchan, who sold the company to her brother, James Lowe, that same year.

Lowe's has rehired a Georgia employee who had been fired by the home improvement chain after she attempted to stop shoplifters, getting a black eye in the process. Her firing sparked a social media backlash against the company, with hundreds of Facebook users posting criticisms.

She did not care. The former Lowe's delivery driver named Corey remained surprisingly calm through the whole situation as the customer seemed to get more unreasonable as time went on. Yes, you read that correctly, former Lowe's employee. Lowe's fired the driver after he posted his video of this criminal act on TikTok.

The Lowe's story began in North Carolina when H. Carl Buchan, part owner of the North Wilkesboro Hardware Company, envisioned creating a chain of hardware stores. At the time, Lowe's was a typical, small-town hardware store selling everything from overalls to wash tubs, work boots and even horse collars.

English:: patronymic from Low 3 and topographic name from the plural of Middle English lowe 'mound hill' (see Low ).

While the company flourished in the springtime as consumers made way through home improvement projects, Lowes is expecting DIY discretionary spending to slow down for the second half of the year. This is the result of people enjoying their summer and fall/winter weather getting in the way of new projects.

“Lowe's Canadian business was reasonable, but its potential was somewhat limited by tough competition and a failure to adapt to the Canadian market,” wrote Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData. “It always felt like it was just a bolt-on to the U.S. division rather than having its own identity.

We're guided by our mission: Together, deliver the right home improvement products, with the best service and value, across every channel and community we serve.
