KELOWNA — Move over Rona, Home Depot and Home Hardware, a new big box store is coming to Kelowna.
Lowe’s is looking to open up shop at the old Western Star Trucking plant location on Enterprise Way. The company is applying for its development permit at Monday’s city council meeting.
The proposal is for a large warehouse and garden centre, spanning about 11,450 square metres.
Lowe’s currently has one location open in BC, in New Westminster, but announced back in May its adding stores in Victoria, Nanaimo, Abbotsford and Prince George.
