Here is where I discovered what attracted me to Lowes Foods in the first place. I later accepted a produce manager position, which landed me in Mooresville for what is known as one of the companies most successful grand openings. Where I would begin developing myself as a leader and would soon receive an assistant produce manager position. I quickly developed an interest in the business that would soon turn to a passion.Īfter transferring closer to my hometown of East Bend I received the opportunity to work in the Produce Department. “I began my journey with Lowes Foods in May of 2012 as a bagger in Shallotte, North Carolina not knowing the opportunities that would be presented just months down the road. I know that I found a home here and I love working with my Lowes Foods family. If you're in a rut in your current career, I recommend giving Lowes Foods an opportunity to let your talents shine. Lowes is the only chain in the Carolinas that is locally owned so our guests see that and support us in our efforts to serve our community. Lowes is also about supporting local business through our partnerships. We are different because we care about our hosts as much as we care about our guests! Not so in many other chains. The grocery business is tough and can become monotonous. The way I see it Lowes Foods can be 'just another grocery store' or we can be something different. If you're having a bad day at Lowes Foods I promise from my experience here, your spirits will be lifted before you leave work. Yes! You get to dance! You get to laugh! Smiling is easy working for Lowes Foods because with our culture you have no other choice. Something I've been looking for my entire career in the supermarket industry. You not only get paid, but you also will have excessive amounts of fun at work. If you are simply looking for a paycheck you'll be in for a shock. Why should someone look to join our family? I'm the happiest that I've been, both professionally and personally in my entire life and I owe that to Lowes Foods and the incredible people that I work with. You are a member of the family! Since being with Lowes for over a year and a half, I've decided that I want to make this the place that I retire from. At Lowes Foods, you are not just another employee. Our culture is truly what drives me to succeed in my role as store manager.

I was with a different supermarket chain for over 24 years and since leaving that company and coming on board with Lowes, I realize that this is exactly where I belong. When I was hired by Lowes Foods, Lee Lambeth explained to me the culture of the company and how it has changed drastically in the past 5 years.
