TORONTO — Lowe’s Canada will hold a meeting with Quebec vendors in Montreal on November 5, but the company says it’s not announcing any expansion plans for that province—at least not yet. In an exclusive interview with HARDLINES, Lowe’s Canada President Sylvain Prud’homme says, “Canada is an important, stable market that keeps growing.” He further notes that Quebec accounts for almost one-quarter of the Canadian retail home improvement market.
