If your child one day aspires to work in construction, Lowe's has an idea for a birthday celebration you'll most certainly want to keep in mind.
The home improvement chain is piloting in-store kids' birthday parties at 10 of its more than 2,000 locations nationwide. Luckily, for those living in the Chicago area, one of the stores hosting parties is in Naperville, located at 1440 Illinois Route 59.
The brand new "Build a Birthday" program aims to to ignite creativity in inspiring young builders while they celebrate with their pals, according to a company news release. Young partygoers will have the choice to build projects including wooden castles, race cars and custom wall shelves, among others.
While parents will need to book a party, if interested, Lowe's vows to take on the majority of the work.
