Lowe's said Monday it is shuttering 51 under-performing stores in the US and Canada, though the company is tempering the news a bit: Most of the stores on the list are within 10 miles of another Lowe's, reports CNN. You can check out the list here. Twenty of the closings are in the US, and California leads the way with four (San Jose, South San Francisco, Irvine, and Aliso Veijo). The stores are expected to close for good by Feb. 1. Reuters notes that Lowe's, which operates more than 2,000 stores in North America, has been lagging behind Home Depot in sales for several years.
