NORTH KINGSTOWN -- Lowe's Companies plans to open its new store in North Kingstown at 6 a.m. on Jan. 9. The home improvement store will be at 1530 Davisville Road, the northwest corner of Gate and Davisville roads. It will have 117,000 square feet of retail sales space and an additional 32,900-square-foot garden center. A grand opening ceremony will be on Jan. 15. Lowe's will match up to $5,000 in gift cards bought that day and donate the money to Habitat for Humanity. The company said a store of that size represents an average investment in the community of approximately $18.5 million and creates up to 175 new jobs. Lowe's entered the Rhode Island market in 2001. This will be its fifth store in the state. |
