Lowes Foods at University Commons

I enjoy Lowe’s foods and majority of the associates have been very sweet. However there is one lady with longer gray hair that stands at self check out and is very overbearing. She stood probably a foot behind me and watched me then proceeded to ask if I had scanned all of my waters when I was about to pay. I said yes and she instantly didn’t believe me. She stopped me so she could pull up a screen with all of my scanned items and sure enough they were all there.. she didn’t say anything other than she threw her hands up and walked away. It was very uncomfortable and she never said goodbye, just stared while I was leaving.

From the fresh produce, baked goods and well-stocked deli to the bounty of carefully selected wines, house crafted sausages and moderately priced florals; Lowes Foods is an inviting market. Years ago, I had the opportunity to do business with the parent company and was blessed to have known an incredible and intractable part of the company, (Mr. A George). Over some interesting discussions, Mr. George explained that the company had sent certain management and buyers were sent to Europe during the infancy of the company. They were tasked with finding unique products and studying the various nuances of the best European markets. I still feel a bit of that original plan for Lowes Foods; with one very glaring difference. I watch extremely loyal, hard-working employees really do amazing work and under terrible conditions. 1. The overall cost for the consumer to experience the emulation of a well-stocked European Market (without leaving their neighborhood), shop at Lowes Foods higher than all other grocery stores in the Wilmington NC area; except for Whole Foods and the Fresh Market. 2. Both those grocery stores pay associates nearly five dollars more per hour (as a new hire); than Lowes Foods is currently paying for the amazing employees they have. 3. There is a labor shortage, a gas crisis, and the highest inflation rate in nearly five decades. Food costs are 48% more expensive than last year. 4. When does Lowes Foods plan on paying a living wage to the people who have actually worked and built this company? Folks, it is WAY past time. So I would love to give you a full five stars. But I could not review a business solely on the goods or services it provides. No, I have to do what little bit I can when I see an injustice. But I am an optimistic human being. I am always looking for an average business to become an absolutely, extraordinary one. I’ll be waiting to cheer for you and hope you get those five stars soon!!

Nice grocery store. Great selection of wine and beer. There even have a place to enjoy a cold beer while you shop. Excellent deli with fresh meat and seafood. They also have a sandwich, sushi, and pizza shop. I like their selection of all the local and state micro brews "beers" probably 25 different ones... I even saw several from Newport NC ..

Love the store, shop often. Get western unions fairly frequently. Today getting a Western union, I was asked what was the REASON I was receiving money for. ???? The guy was very nice about it, but I was completely taken aback by the invasion. Western union does not even ask that question. Lowes foods should definitely definitely look at changing that policy.
