New Lowe's in Port St. Lucie

Lowe’s plans to open a new store in Port St. Lucie in early June, adding another big-box anchor to the city’s fast-growing Tradition area. (tcpalm.com) The store is set for 13845 Southwest Village Parkway at Shoppes at Southern Grove, near Interstate 95 and Becker Road. A Lowe’s spokesperson told TCPalm the opening is expected in early June 2026, though an exact grand-opening date has not been announced. (tcpalm.com) Lowe’s said the Port St. Lucie store will have 94,000 square feet of retail space and a 30,000-square-foot garden center. The company also said the location will bring more than 100 jobs, and hiring is already underway. (wptv.com) The project lands in Tradition, an 8,300-acre master-planned community that has been adding homes, retail and logistics space on Port St. Lucie’s southwest side. Port St. Lucie’s population estimate reached 258,575 in July 2024, up 26.2% from April 2020, according to the United States Census Bureau. (mattamyhomes.com, census.gov) The new store also fills a gap in home-improvement retail inside Tradition, where developers have been pitching Southern Grove as a new commercial node. Banyan Development describes the 23-acre project as a Lowe’s-and-Wawa-anchored retail center at Becker Road and Village Parkway. (pebbenterprises.com, banyandev.com) Project descriptions have varied as plans moved forward. Developers said in August 2025 that construction was underway on a 134,000-square-foot Lowe’s store with a garden center, while Lowe’s current store announcement lists 94,000 square feet of retail space plus a 30,000-square-foot garden center.

That hiring push comes weeks before the company’s expected June launch in Southern Grove. (talent.lowes.com, tcpalm.com)
