ONE YEAR UPDATE:
This review update makes me sad. Changing from 5 stars to 1 star. There’s an unsanitary flaw at Lowe’s Signature, and it’s right at the front of the store.
The pepper roasting shed is filthy. The big metal roasting drum has bird poo and bits of roasted peppers on it. There’s an open box, lined with a trash bag, of pepper bits and other food garbage, that’s been sitting on the ground for THREE MONTHS. The tall manager, I think his name is John, and I spoke at great length about this disgusting unsanitary mess **over ninety days ago**. I advised him of the open trash box, bird poo, cigarette butts, old poblano pepper boxes, and un-emptied trash bins. Week after week, nothing changes. A month after our first chat, I called the store and advised another manager about the problem. He said he would “talk to the manager who runs that department”. ….Another month goes by. STILL NO CHANGE. The exact same boxes and nasty food bits are on the roasting drum. Spoke to John a third time and he claimed he had “spoken with the manager” but gave me no other info. Situation felt slightly standoffish. I asked John “is this the standard of cleanliness that Lowe’s is happy with?” He didn’t answer me.
WELL…the saga continues. It’s May 9th 2025 as I write this review update and the problem is STILL not fixed. Please find pictures attached as proof.
Lowe’s Corporate office will be getting a call from me. The health department should shut that roasting shed down until it’s sanitized. Shame on Lowe’s management for ignoring this embarrassing and disgusting monument to their laziness. For fear of ingesting bird crap or some other foodborne pathogen, I will never ever buy roasted peppers from Lowe’s.
As a Chef, I’m in the grocery store on average 4 days a week. Fantastic produce! Fresh and rotated/stocked. Great beer selection! Love the little tap room…awesome selection of draft beer. Stunning low prices on high end cheese such as big blocks of the best Muenster cheese I’ve ever had!! Meat market always has fresh selections for competitive prices. And finally, the tortilla bakery in the store makes delicious flour tortillas and home style tortilla chips. Highly recommended! Top marks yall. As a professional I have impossibly high standards for grocers and other food vendors. Yall consistently amaze me.
