Lowes Foods

They try harder! Fun store makeover featuring a beer and wine bar, smokehouse bbq counter, a real coffee bar that thankfully isn’t Starbucks, and the best seafood department in town. Get your growler filled while you shop It’s my new go to. Dear Lowes Foods… Please open in the 28 115. That’s where the real locals live and we want you!

This is the nicest grocery store I’ve ever been to… hands down the best. Upon entry they had some water with pineapple and mango in it to sample. It was delicious and having something to sample upon entry got my attention. I was shopping with my friend as we were looking for a particular beer and what do I see??? I see 20 beers on tap! I don’t drink beer but having the option to drink while grocery shopping is intriguing… I may even get my husband to come along with me. Best thing I’ve ever seen. After making googly eyes at the beer on tap I saw the bakery. I absolutely cannot resist going to a cake display case to oogle at the treats as I was drooling the manager (I’m guessing) asked me and my friend if we had ever tried the icing when we informed him we had not he let us sample the icings. It. Was. The. Best. So of course we purchased a small piece each (only 2.00) we also sampled their cookies as they had a sign that the cookies were made with hand churned butter! The cookies were delicious so I broke my diet and purchased all the cookies vowing to only eat one and give the rest to my husband. My friend loved the cake so much she almost bought a whole one but before committing to an entire cake purchase we decided to take a walk around the produce section since we eyed a muffin case nearby. In the produce section they have fresh squeezed orange juice ready for sampling I love help yourself samples! They also had pkgs of strawberries on sales for .99 a pkg so I helped myself to a few pkgs. all the produce looked great and they had a rather large selection. My favorite part was when the water came on to freshen the veggies the song «singing in the rain» played. That made my day. After singing with the song and sampling more juice we made our way over to the juicing area. This place has a juice bar! Then what did I see??? I see a garden with herbs that you can go a cut/​pick/​harvest yourself. I’ve never seen that in a grocery store. Then we made our way back to the wine section and to my surprise they have a machine that you can put your wine in to have it chilled. It only takes 7 minutes for your wine to be chilled. And as someone who enjoys cold wine but who is too impatient to wait for it to chill as I want to drink it as soon as I get home I can appreciate this magic wine cooling machine. They also have a coffee bar area, a salad bar, an olive bar and an amazing deli that has giant man-​sized sandwiches and ready to bake pizza. They have a live lobster tank that I appreciate as I enjoy viewing the lobsters and the meat dept looked like a clean upscale butcher shop. I found a large bag of pretzels for only .89 which made me happy. After that we went to their bread/​cheese area to oogle at the bread and to see if we could score more samples (we did) I even got to see the workers making bread and the employees do a chicken dance of some sort when the music came on. I was very pleased with my visit. Every employee was nice and friendly. The florist area was pretty too and they had lots of flowers and balloons to choose from. They even had self check out which came in handy because I had already eaten my cookies and cake sample and did want to face the cashier so the self checkout enabled me to scan my empty boxes without judgement. Upon leaving a Doritos man was outside and gave us free chips to sample. Way to end it on a good note.

I think I prefer Lowes over HT for their produce a little more. The store is always clean and fully stocked, and there is a retired gentleman that works in the meat dept who is so very nice and helpful. I also like that they have a gas station here and they give you a discount on gas after you spend enough on groceries. Parking is also well laid out — I never have to walk far.

I had a great experience at Lowes — under unusual circumstances!
After a long night, entailing a long story I won’t go into here, I absolutely NEEDED a box of Wheat Chex cereal asap — and went to Lowes precisely at its 6am opening. It was pitch black outside and pouring rain, but the large store glowed like a warm clean beacon from the parking lot.
Huddled and speckled with rain, I ducked into the supermarket and was instantly greeted by a surprisingly chipper guy cleaning the floors, who assured my the vast and sparkling clean store was indeed open. I was in a rush, but the clear layout let me find the cereal aisle within seconds, and as soon as I turned the corner, I was met by an employee! She asked if she could help me find anything as I anxiously scanned the shelves and when I let her know, she walked straight to the right spot, and pulled out a box of Wheat Chex cereal and handed it to me. Total relief! Time saved, and super friendly service. Might I remind you the store had been open for less than a minute?
Rushing to the only open cashier, I looked at the empty space behind the counter and thought «Oh GREAT, I wonder how long it will take before someone actually notic — » And before I could finish the thought, a young blonde woman strode right out of a front office and helped to ring up my item. I didn’t have a card, but she didn’t hesitate to offer and use the store card, which saved me a $ 1.50 — great, considering how pricey that cereal is. In less than a minute she’d finished the transaction while still managing some friendly small talk and getting me a nice discount. Thanks, cashier!
As I rushed back out into the rain, I thought in wonder how alive and awake everyone in the store had been, even though they’d all probably been there since 5am to get ready, at the latest. The store itself was immaculate — clean, organized, and easy to navigate. The shelves were all stocked. And there was a wide selection.
If Lowes could help me in this highly unusual predicament, I’d definitely trust them on a daily basis. Only drawback? The items I passed by seemed somewhat more expensive than the norm. But if you’re looking for quality and customer service, this is the place.
SHORT VERSION:
PROS:
– Excellent customer service [efficient, friendly, and helpful]
– Clean and organized store with a lot of variety
CON:
– Probably more expensive than your average supermarket

My favorite grocery store I’m mooresville. Super nice people, clean store, great priced, and gas rewards! Good organic milk, fresh produce. I miss Wegman’s up north, this is the next best thing!

Lowes Food really lucked up when it moved from its Brawley School Rd. location, to its new home on Town Square Circle. More space, stand alone, & much more modern & inviting. The aisles are wide & the lighting is bright & the store itself is clean.
Lowes reminds me a lot of Harris Teeter… they have a customer rewards program, have «Lowes to go» online grocery ordering, self checkouts, an awesome deli /​bakery section, salad bar, & they offer sushi. I think some of there prices mirror Harris Teeter, but not across the board — I noticed some things actually were more expensive than the Teeter.
They have a pretty good sized parking lot, so you won’t have to fight for parking. They also offer free wi-​fi.

Bright, clean, great produce, lots of great specials… everything offered by Harris Teeter but not as pricey. Go on a weekday and you will have little/​no wait at checkout.
