WINSTON-SALEM, N.C, 2016-Dec-05 — /EPR Retail News/ — Thinking about holidays gifts? Think local. Select Lowes Foods stores are offering special gifts of local products packaged together as The Carolina Cheer Boxes during the holiday season. The Cheer Boxes are available at the Lowes Foods store in Jacksonville located at 2421 Gum Branch Road.
The Cheer Boxes feature local products from the Carolinas including Carolina Mix Popcorn from Greensboro’s Chad’s Carolina Corn, Ginger Spice Moravian Cookies from Winston-Salem’s Salem Baking Company, Blackberry Jelly from Reidsville’s Fogwood Food, Lemon Buds from Nashville’s Butterfields, Low Country Boil Peanuts from Hartsville’s (South Carolina) Gillespie’s Peanuts, Red Bird Mints from Lexington’s (North Carolina) Piedmont Candy Company and Honey from Pickens’ (South Carolina) Bee Well Honey Farm & Supply.
“We introduced the Cheer Boxes in limited supplies last year, and they quickly became a popular item among our customers,” Lowes Foods’ senior vice president brand strategy Heather George said. “Our Cheer Boxes are hand-curated and feature some wonderful local products from North and South Carolina. They’re an easy, thoughtful gift for anyone and come in a one-size-fits-all box filled with joy and good eating. We’ve even included the ‘To, From’ tag on top of the box for ease.”
Lowes Foods’ Carolina Cheer Boxes retail for $24.99 and are available only while supplies last.
