A North Carolina grocery chain has opened another Charlotte-area store, with plans for more. Lowes Foods debuted its sixth Charlotte-area store Thursday, Jan. 15, at 3412 Providence Road in Waxhaw, the company said in a news release.

Just three months ago, Lowes Foods opened at U.S. 521 and Possum Hollow Road at The Exchange in Indian Land, S.C. Lowes also recently opened a store in Columbia.

The store has about 150 full- and part-time employees.

Lowes plans to open another store in the Charlotte region this summer in Kannapolis, as well as expansions in Wendell and Fuquay-Varina in the Triangle and store conversion of Kj’s Market in Lyman and John’s Island in South Carolina.

What to expect at the new Lowes Foods

Features at the Waxhaw store, Lowes Foods said, include: The Community Table to gather for food pairings, tea parties and floral arranging classes, plus parties and events.

The Beer Den with craft beers and drafts. Shoppers can grab a pour and sip while they shop, or fill a growler or crowler to take home.

The Cakery, a whimsical bakery where square cakes are assembled, topped with icing made in-store with real cream and butter.

SausageWorks features locally sourced pork, beef and poultry sausages in several flavors.

Boxcar Coffee. Sip on a cup of coffee or grab a smoothie for children.

Sammy’s offers lunch or dinner sandwiches, pizza and vegetables to eat in-store or take home.

More about Lowes Foods

Over a decade ago, Lowes Foods began pulling out of Charlotte, swapping stores with Harris Teeter and closing underperforming stores in 2014, as part of a reinvestment strategy in new stores and remodeling others.

Other grocery store expansions

Lowes Foods joins stiff competition in a field of nearly 730 grocery stores in the $10.4 billion Charlotte region market.

WAXHAW, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — “This is crazy, beautiful, awesome. Let your kids see this stuff,” says one couple driving through the Aero Plantation neighborhood. “It’s 100% beautiful.”

They’d driven down from Monroe to gaze at the Christmas lights on different homes in the county.

One house on their list was Neil Heuer’s huge light show in Waxhaw. His premieres daily until 10 p.m. with more than 60,000 flashing LED lights, syncing with a playlist of 15 Christmas songs.

Despite the happiness viewers say they feel from watching the show. The homeowner says his display caused a bit of a stir with his homeowners’ association (HOA) board.

“That’s the argument. They say this is all private property. Our roads are owned by our HOA, so they’re technically not public. However, if you’re coming through here to deliver something, to visit somebody, to do anything, the roads are the roads. They’re throughways. They’re right of ways for people to pass,” Heuer said.

He says the HOA board sent him a letter addressing their complaints. He declined to show the letter in case of any possible litigation.

We looked at the HOAs’ bylaws, and nothing explicitly prohibited homeowners from operating any entertainment show.

“This is about the fourth year, and it’s never been anything quite this big. I always do Halloween and Christmas. No complaints. Nothing I believe I’m doing here is impacting the neighbors, impacting the neighborhood, or against rules and regulations that we have in the neighborhood,” Heuer said.

He says the average time anyone stops to watch the lights is three minutes, then they drive away. They also get about four cars a night.

Onlookers didn’t see an issue with it.

“It’s not that big of a deal. And right now, there’s nobody even coming or going. This man is made a spectacular display for everybody to enjoy. And I cannot understand why any person would not want their kids, their grandkids, to see such beautiful,” the couple said.

“I just really enjoy it. I did it for my kids several years ago, and it’s just gotten larger, and it’s just so fascinating and exciting. And every time somebody gives positive feedback, it’s just more fuel to make me want to do it more. I just want, I want to make people happy, and this makes people happy,” he said.

Although this is his biggest year, it might be his last year. Heuer is considering moving the light show to a bigger location, so viewers can watch the show undistracted, and neighbors can be at peace.

“This is the last thing I want to have an argument about. I just want people to enjoy the show. I’m not trying to make it an unsafe situation for anybody,” Heuer said.
