A Myrtle Beach area Lowes grocery store is set to close its doors. Here’s when and why

A Myrtle Beach Lowes Foods location will close next month as part of a “broader growth strategy,” according to a release from the company.

The store, at 970 Cipriana Drive near Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, is one of three locations in the Carolinas that will close early August, the release states.

Lowes Foods, a Carolinas-based grocery store with locations in the Carolinas and Virginia, said the closures are part of a broader growth strategy. The two other locations closing are in Claremont and Hickory, North Carolina.

The grocery store was founded in 1954 and operates more than 80 supermarkets, including three others on the Grand Strand. They are located in Carolina Forest, Surfside and Murrells Inlet.
