“I love Lowe's Food Store ! I shop at two different locations one being Ocean Isle Beach, NC and the other Little River, SC. Both stores are very well stocked and clean. Associates and staff are very friendly and very helpful. I love the Little River location on Wednesday senior citizens get 5% off the grocery bill unfortunately Ocean Isle Beach does not honor the senior citizens on Wednesday! I also earn five s*** off every hundred I spend for gas which I purchase in Little River at their Lowes Food gas station very convenient!”

“We stopped here on our way out of town after visiting Ocean Isle. As we always do. We were paying with cash My husband goes in and tells them he'd like the pump turned on while he shopped and then would pay for it all.I was to stay at the pump then fill gas when it turned on. Simple right? We have done it this way multiple times without a problem. Today.... It was a problem. We would have to pay 1st before running the pump . My husband had to shop first. Put money down go pump and come back for change. Why is it an issue now to have one person at the pump and one in the store until the pumping is done. Next time we will go elsewhere.”

“Store was very clean but what I was most impressed with and wasn’t expecting was a very clean restroom. It actually even smelled good lol The woman at the counter, Rowna, greeted every customer that came in while I was there. She has a beautiful and friendly smiling face. I like to shout out when I see others doing a good job and this place should be recognized! Thank you for a clean restroom! It’s so appreciated when traveling!”

“This is one the only Circle K from Wilmington to Calabash NC that is always Neat and Clean with clean Restrooms. Honestly this is the way all Circles K's stores should be when you visit. Lack of help and having employees that will work seems to be a biggest problem for most Circle K's.. This Store in Calabash NC is doing it right and is always busy. This is the way all Stores should look! Keep it up... Great Job to all the Employees!”
