The deli area has its own unique elements, such as:
- The Chicken Kitchen for all things chicken. Fresh chicken is locally sourced and is raised with “no antibiotics ever.”
- The Smokehouse, which offers a daily rotation of wood-smoked meats — including beef, pork, chicken and salmon — using a variety of woods to infuse flavor. They're available ready to eat or ready to take home and heat.
- Sammy’s, which features sandwiches and pizzas. Shoppers can have these custom-made using Boar’s Head products or something from the Smokehouse, and vegetables from Pick & Prep or grab-and-go items. Customers can eat in the store or opt for takeout.
The store will offer online shopping through Lowes Foods to Go.
