Lowes Foods is continuing to grow in the Carolinas and has announced five new locations including Aiken. That store will be built at the intersection of Whiskey Road and Powerhouse Road. Other new stores will include one in Indian Land, SC, and others in North Carolina.
“We’re excited to be building additional Lowes Foods stores to serve the booming growth areas around Charlotte and northeast of Augusta, Georgia,” Tim Lowe, President of Lowes Foods said.
“All five of our new stores are in various stages of planning and construction, and we look forward to sharing opening timelines and plans in the coming months.”
Lowe said the new stores will be modeled after existing Lowes Foods which feature foods from local farmers and vendors. The grocery chain also offers personal shopping and gas rewards discounts.
Lowes Foods will enter the Aiken market with grocery competition which includes Publix, ALDI, Kroger, Food Lion, and The Fresh Market.
Founded in 1954, Lowes Foods employs nearly 9,000 people and operates more than 80 full-service supermarkets in the Carolinas. To learn more, visit lowesfoods.com. Lowes Foods, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alex Lee, Inc., founded in 1931 and based in Hickory, NC.
