The new store, located on the parcel previously occupied by Suffolk Life, open at 6 a.m.

The store will hold a formal grand opening at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12.

Lowe’s will hold a “Gift Card Match Day” for the grand opening day. When anyone purchases a gift card to the store, Lowe’s will then match their total purchase with a donation of up to $5,000 to Suffolk Habitat for Humanity’s next building project.

The new Lowe’s features 103,000 square feet of retail sales space and an adjacent garden center.
