Lowe’s (LOW) is looking to hire more than 53,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers this spring at its more than 1,700 stores in the U.S. The need for workers at the home improvement chain comes as it enters its busy season and looks to grow its workforce to meet the customer demand in the springtime.

Lowe’s said it will have hiring events at all of its stores over the next three months with Florida, Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Alabama, and Georgia seeing the first walk-in hiring events.

Lowe’s said it will be hiring seasonal workers for cashier, lawn and garden associate, stocker, and loader positions. Employees of Lowe’s, including seasonal workers, are eligible for the company’s quarterly bonus program, as well as competitive pay and a 10% employee discount.
