Lowes Foods is a grocery store chain based in Winston-Salem, NC. Lowes Foods started in Wilkesboro, North Carolina with a single store that opened in 1954. Expansion in Wilkesboro and the mountain regions of NC shortly followed. The company now has 102 stores in North Carolina, 5 in South Carolina, and 2 in Virginia. The chain's initial growth was in the mountains of North Carolina and rural areas of Virginia, but starting in the late 90's, has geared expansion towards metropolitan areas in North and South Carolina.

Lowes expanded outside the Piedmont Triad area in the mid-1990s after buying out Byrd's and taking over former Hannaford stores in the Triangle area and coastal regions.

Lowes Foods uses S&H Greenpoints on their store discount card. Many of Lowes Foods stores also offer "Lowes Foods to Go", where shoppers can order groceries online and drive to the store to pick them up. Business and Home Delivery is available at select locations throughout North and South Carolina.
