Lowes Foods on South Commons Drive

"This store is one I go way out of my way to visit. Unique items that I can’t find elsewhere and the bar in the center cracks me up. Why haven’t other stores thought of this fun feature?"

"I couldn't find a product anywhere except Lowe's Foods. Very nice customer service lady helped me locate it. Thank you Betty! Lowe's Foods is lucky to have you! Nice clean store with great people!"

"Once I realized this store was not the home improvement company, I was very pleasantly surprised! It was clean, the staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They didn't have the hot sauce I wanted, but they knew what it was and said they would look into getting it. Which I thought was very nice to try. HOWEVER, the best part was the "Clip Your Own Herb" garden - in the store!!! You can clip just the amount you need of fresh, planted in dirt in a giant window box. No waste and did I mention FRESH?!"

"It's a clean upscale grocery store. It's one of the few places you can get Boar's Head lunch meats. They have a butcher shop with a good selection of meats. There's also a Bakery and Seafood shop on site. It's always well stocked and clean. The produce section has a very good selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's even well stocked with fresh herbs. Bring your own reusable bags and they will credit you five cents per bag!"

"Founded in 1954, this North Carolina established grocer chain offers the likes of large meat department, deli with Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, bakery, produce and the usual array of boxed, canned, frozen, cleaning and personal hygiene items. Extras can be found with The Cakery, Chicken Kitchen, Sausage Works and The Beer Den, with a selection of crafts and drafts brewed local. A selection of wine, beer and other adult beverages are also available. The theme song amongst the grocer businesses is the “empty shelves blues” and this was quite noticeable here. Also, after working 8 years in grocer retail, I find myself engaging in staff contact and interaction to see if staff do engage before I do. I had nearly completed my tour of the store, coming in contact with 6-7 staff, before encountering a gentleman in the frozen department stocking that took the time to make eye contact and talking with me. The young lady manning the self check out was friendly and helpful, as the registers were super sensitive. Do shop sales, specials and deals to get the bang for your buck. Store is clean, bright and well organized."
