Lowes Foods will open a new store June 18 at Kannapolis Parkway and Rogers Lake Road in Kannapolis, North Carolina.
In addition, the company said a new store is under construction at Mecklenburg Highway and the East‑West Connector in south Mooresville. It’s slated to open in 2027.
The two stores in the metro Charlotte area join previously announced new locations in Wendell and Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, and Lyman, South Carolina.
The Kannapolis store will feature Lowes Foods’ signature “Originals” – specialty departments that differentiate the grocer from conventional supermarkets. These include the Beer Den (craft drafts with half‑price pints on Thursday and Friday Night Flights), Boxcar Coffee and the Cakery (square cakes assembled in‑store)
Other signature features include a Cheese Shop, the Community Table (made from reclaimed local barn wood for events and classes), SausageWorks (locally made sausages in a variety of flavors) and the Chicken Kitchen (fresh, never frozen, locally-sourced chicken with no antibiotics).
The store also will have the Smokehouse (daily wood‑smoked meats) and Sammy’s (custom sandwiches and pizza using Boar’s Head products). Online shopping will be available through Lowes Foods to Go.
“Like all our Lowes Foods stores, our new Kannapolis store is very focused on supporting all things local,” said Tim Lowe, president of Lowes Foods.
“Our commitment to local includes offering produce sourced through our partnerships with more than 200 farmers from the Carolinas and featuring a wide assortment of unique local products found throughout the store. This is a particularly great time of year to enjoy all the fresh summer produce from local farmers.”
