Lexington, SC, and Waxhaw, NC, locations in addition to seven other recently announced future stores.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (Jan. 17, 2024)— Lowes Foods, a Carolinas-based grocer headquartered in Winston-Salem, N.C., has signed leases for two new stores. One store will be in Lexington, South Carolina, at the northeast corner of Platt Springs Road and South Lake Drive. The other store will be in Waxhaw, North Carolina, at the southwest corner of Providence Road and Prescott Glenn Parkway. Construction and opening schedules have not been determined.
The two new stores are in addition to the previously announced Lowes Foods stores coming to Aiken, South Carolina; Concord, North Carolina; Indian Land, South Carolina; Kannapolis, North Carolina; Marble Hill, Georgia; Summerville, South Carolina; and Winterville, North Carolina.
“We are entering a period of growth for Lowes Foods as we move into Georgia and continue to expand within our footprint in North and South Carolina,” said Tim Lowe, head of Alex Lee retail and president of Lowes Foods. “The Marble Hill store in Georgia is a former IGA and is now under construction. It will likely be among the first of the new group of stores and will open this summer.
“Our growth in the Charlotte market is particularly exciting to us,” Lowe added. “We currently have three stores in the Charlotte market in Mooresville, Huntersville, and Harrisburg. With the four new stores, the number of Lowes Foods will become seven in the Charlotte market. We look forward to serving store guests at all our new locations and showcasing Lowes Foods’ passion for the local community.”
