It's the end of an era for generations of parents and students who made their way to the store with the blue front door to get kitted out for school.

Lowes regional manager David Milne said the clothing company Lowes bought Savvy about six years ago and the merging of the two businesses had been "in the works for quite a long time".

Mr Milne said the Lowes store in South.Point would stock all the current school uniforms and have all in store by Wednesday.

He said the old Savvy shop in Homeworld Tuggeranong was continuing to trade on a limited basis for people who need to pick up uniform necessities.

Mr Milne said none of the Savvy staff were losing their jobs. One had retired to enjoy "being a grandmother". Others would be redeployed.

He said having the uniforms at the Lowes store would make it easier for parents as it would be open seven days a week, with longer trading hours and "a greater variety of products".
