Lowes Foods is a regional grocery retailer based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, operating stores across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, with a focus on quality, value, and service for everyday shopping. The company began in 1954 as a single store in North Wilkesboro and expanded through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth to reach close to 100 locations today. In 2013 it pursued a store-format transformation, introducing features such as Chicken Kitchen, SausageWorks, Pick & Prep, and a Community Table to differentiate the in-store experience. The business serves a broad consumer base seeking a local-market-focused grocery option and maintains a workforce typical of a regional grocer. A recent development includes the opening of a new Kannapolis, North Carolina store in June 2026, illustrating ongoing expansion within its operating region.
