Stallings to head Lowes-Canada

MOORESVILLE, N.C. Lowe's Companies has announced that Don Stallings has joined the Lowes-Canada team as president, effective immediately. He will report to Larry Stone, president and coo. Stallings replaces Doug Robinson who has resigned for personal reasons.

"Over the past two years, Lowe's has built an outstanding management team in Toronto to manage the company's entry into this important metropolitan market," explained Stone. "Don Stallings is a proven leader and will be a great addition to the Canada team."

Stallings brings to this position more than 30 years of retail experience. He joined Lowe's in 1994 and, in 1997 as regional vp, was responsible for leading the team that opened Lowe's first six stores in one day in Dallas, Texas - Lowe's first top 25 metropolitan market. He has served in a number of increasingly responsible positions with the company, including district manager, merchandising vp and, most recently, regional vp of operations in Lowe's south central division based in Houston, the fourth largest metropolitan market in the U.S.
