Lowes Foods, a Carolinas-based grocer headquartered in Winston-Salem, will open a new store Aug. 29 at 2415 Herrons Nest Place NW in Concord, North Carolina.
In addition to the new Concord location, Lowes Foods celebrated a renovation of its Mt. Airy, North Carolina, site. Additions to the Mt. Airy store include Lowes Foods’ originals: The Cakery, Bread Crumb and Smokehouse.
The new Concord store also will feature the following Lowes Foods’ originals:
- The Beer Den offers a variety of local crafts and drafts. Shoppers can grab a pour and sip while they shop or fill a growler or crowler. There are seasonal offerings of beers, special events and tap takeovers with half price pints on Thursday or Fridays for Friday Night Flights.
- Boxcar Coffee, where customers can sip on a cup of coffee while they shop or grab a smoothie for the kids. There are also limited-time seasonal offers.
- The Cakery is a whimsical bakery where being square is cool. The Cakery features “scrumptiouslyumptiously” delicious square cakes in all sizes that are assembled before your eyes, topped with icing made fresh in-store with real cream and real butter.
- Cheese Shop is the place to find all things cheese in the store – everything from traditional cheeses to rare finds.
- The Community Table is the heart of the store. Constructed of reclaimed wood from local barns, it is a place to get inspiration for something new to eat or drink. Guests can also gather ‘round the table for events such as food pairings, tea parties and floral arranging classes. The Community Table also hosts private events ranging from birthday parties for children to beer and wine pairings for adults.
- SausageWorks features locally made pork, beef and poultry sausages in a variety of flavors.

At the store’s deli, guests will be able to stop by on their way home to pick up dinner or stay for lunch. The deli features selections from three Lowes Foods’ originals – The Chicken Kitchen, The Smokehouse and Sammy’s.
- The Chicken Kitchen is for chicken products – rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, chicken wings, chicken pot pies, chicken tenders, chicken salad and Cock-a-Doodle Noodle soup, among others. The chicken is fresh and never frozen, locally sourced and is raised with “no antibiotics ever.”
- The Smokehouse offers a daily rotation of wood-smoked meats – including beef, pork, chicken and salmon – using a variety of woods to infuse flavor. Customers can pick them up ready to eat or ready to take home and heat.
- Sammy’s features quick items, such as a sandwich or pizza. Shoppers can have these custom-made using Boar’s Head products or something from the Smokehouse and vegetables from Pick & Prep or choose to grab them and go.
Both stores also will have online shopping through Lowes Foods to Go.
