Lowes Foods Of Little River - Swansboro

This store had great selections and variety in all key areas. I shop at Lowe's Foods frequently because they are headquartered here in NC and support local suppliers and farmers. Great quality and value proposition for a company that adds value back to their location communities.

Lowes Foods is always great. Nice clean location with fresh produce. Prices aren't the cheapest but you get what you pay for and when on sale some things are less expensive than other places.

Now I remember why I don 't go here... Aside from the prices typically being twice the price of other places I go... Strike 1, the one thing I went there for was the only thing not stocked. Strike 2, the first person I asked to check if they had in back brought out something else that was not the same and cost twice as much as what I was looking for. Strike 3. I asked someone in a different department if there was someone working in the meat department and they said, there should be, just yell in back for help and they should come out ... Needless to say no one came out. About 3 minutes later someone from another department came over looking for someone in the meat department to help me and they could not find anyone so I left since I did not have time to wait since I had to get back to get my kid ready for school. Strike 4, when I went to check out for the one item I decided to get for my kid while I was there, there was an issue where their systems were not reading the loyalty card numbers, so they used the store card... Very nice of them not to give the points to their customers, granted I have always had issues with their loyalty cards from the beginning, but usually I can at least use it. Strike 5, the one item I wanted to check out with the system said you cannot purchase this item and to have someone ring it up. Apparently the bar codes on produce don 't work properly and are deceiving... That 's according to the employee. But.... I was told to have a nice day by the lady that had to help for two things at self check out for one item because their systems were not working properly. I guess it 's good they are in the grocery business instead of baseball. Everyone needs to eat, but I don 't think they would keep fans if they can 't get a hit.

Staff in all aspects of this grocery store are friendly and go out of their way to ensure I am satisfied. Extremely clean store, very well-stocked, tons of choices, great baked products, and I love the BBQ items they make right there in-store. Get their loyalty card so you can get the best prices for many of their items.

The folks in here are friendly and they have a great selection of wines. The deli has several sections and the bakery is always adding fresh items out on the floor. It may not be the least expensive grocery store around, but if you watch for sales, and use the .05 gas discounts for every 100 you spend, it is worth it.
