Lowes Foods

1.2 stars, only because they have a relatively extensive beer selection for a chain grocery store. Two huge problems will end this location, especially with a new Publix on Kelly/​Olive Chapel to compete with in 2017:
1) Service. Absolutely abysmal, especially in the checkout area. Management is failing and, frankly, should be replaced. Employees are always standing around, paying much more attention to each other than customers, talking, playing on mobile phones, etc. At checkout, expect no smiles from these incredibly rude and dismissive kids. They clearly are not motivated, and do not want to be there. Turnover seems higher than normal, but that’s speculation. Tonight was the nail in the coffin: around 9:15 PM, checkout 1, male. Guy was absolutely miserable. No ‘thanks’ when finished, just sadness. Happens all times of the day, clearly just spoiled young folks with no discipline.
2) Prices. Relatively speaking, not very competitive. Checkout dingbats always forget to ask for discount card (which Publix wisely doesn’t have).
To hell with beer options, I’ll make Harris Teeter my one-​stop shop for everything once again until I can try out Publix in 2017. Kids at HT are clearly more motivated, more respectful, more thankful for my business; prices are generally not great but better than Lowe’s. Management is critical when you have a younger workforce, and HT gets it; Lowe’s does not and mark my words their demise will be swift when Public opens in 2017. Disappointing.

Giving a five star review just because of the other one star reviews. The store has much the same food as other groceries, produce is good (a real qualifier when rating a grocery), and the prices, on average, beats the competition.

This is a review for the front end customer service aka cashiers… they were rude and very unhelpful, the one cashier that did help us was great however there were plenty of management members there and not one bothered to offer help… if this is how they plan to grow they will fail and I am now thinking publics will over take this area as well!!!

I used to be a regular at Lowes. Between sale items and staples, I’d be there at least a few times a week. But since the overhaul, I can barely stand to go. They added a number of specialty areas for things like sausage, beer and more, but they jacked up the prices while falling far short of the true specialty shops. I rarely go now. I prefer cheaper markets for commodities and specialty shops for the good stuff. Lowes really missed the mark for me.

This is a review on their display cake cheesecake slices that are individually sold. For supermarket cheesecake, this was pretty creamy and just wondefully good. I happend to pick it up at the High House location, but unfortunately they no longer carry it. After 5 calls hunting this down, this Apex location carries it. The individual display case slices is not the same as the whole cheese cakes they carry from the freezer. I thought Harris Teeter ricotta cheesecake slices were good, but these are much better!
