Lowes Foods began in 1954 as a single store in Wilkesboro, NC, and has grown to become a major supermarket chain operating in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The company grew rapidly during the 1960s, '70s and early '80s. Lowes Foods was acquired by Merchants Distributors, Inc. (MDI) in 1984 and began an aggressive expansion program in 1986, opening 19 stores over the next four years. In 1997, Lowes Foods acquired Byrds Food Stores, located in eastern North Carolina. It continued its growth in 2000 with the purchase of 13 Hannaford stores. Today Lowes Foods operates more than 100 stores and continues to open new stores throughout North and South Carolina.

Lowes Foods is throwing in the towel in Charlotte and swapping stores with Harris Teeter, which is trying to exit more "rural" markets. This dealmaking comes as Publix prepares its assault on Harris Teeter's stronghold.
