I was impressed with the variety at this little market! While you may not be able to find certain speciality foods, they have a wide variety of fun and funky items. I loved their quirky soda variety, and the cheap produce! I will definitely be stopping in for produce in the future. It has prices that beat pretty much every grocery store I have been to! read more

The sore is always well stocked and clean. The staff is always willing to help you find what you are looking for. Prices are reasonable and if you get their app you can save on different things every week. read more

Lowe's Corner Market - Grocery Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love this place it has everything for everyone and one of my family members work here

Came in last week too get milk for my toddler and the men working there where kind. But just went in for my wic groceries and my mom came with me and paid her stuff in cash separately first which the women working saw and when I was paying for my wic she constantly asked me rudely and with a mad look if my moms milk was paid for after seeing her pay for it! I work in customer service my self I've done retail and restaurant if you're that rude don't work in customer service. read more

I lOVE a small grocery store!!! Lowe's has everything one needs and I'm in and out quickly. The meats are appetizing, the fruit & vegetables fresh! I only frequent the BIG grocers a few times a year to stock up on canned goods and major pantry items... read more

I used to like this supermarket, but now I've put them on my boycott list. They've adopted the nasty policy of having people leave their backpacks at the front of the store. This is a major problem for me, since my chronic back problems prevent me from participating in driving culture. I have a small but ergonomically-excellent backpack I need to use for shopping, and I'm not about to leave it at the front of the store for someone to steal, considering how much it cost and that Lowe's isn't going to reimburse me if it's stolen. read more

The food is Rotten all the fruit has a mold on it the strawberries have a black film over them.Everything in there is Rotten and the female manager is even more Rotten than the food she's rude. I took a pie back because it was bad and The manger didn't want to give The money back she admitted the freezer broke down and they refroze the food and sold it..So I wasn't leaving till she gave me my money back she's rude and needs to be fired on the spot!!.Don't go there unless you want to feed your family rotten food.And get treated with total disrespect.If we were somewhere else besides there I would have let her have it and made her eat the damn nasty pie..DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY THERE.i wouldn't have even give a star but it wouldn't let me leave a single bytloo read more

This corner market has a great selection considering it's on the smaller side of grocery stores. They have natural foods as well as conventional, and their prices are decent. I love how it convenient it is for my neighborhood. It's the only market around and I feel lucky it's a good one. I'm not wild about their only being self-serve checkout but I've adapted. read more

The staff is super nice, and you see the same faces over the years, for the most part, so you can tell it is a decent place to work. The food is REALLY diverse, with the tried-and-true favorites, as well as some more upscale, new agey things. They have a little bit of organic product (not much, but still surprising for a small store) they have a Japanese sushi bar, though I think they may be closing it down. They roast chile during the season when it has been harvested. THey do it in specially designed, big barrels outside the store and then they wrap it up and sell it to their customers. The variety is astonishing, really. In the produce, I recommend the blueberries, strawberries, cranberries (in season), avocados, green chile. For some reason, those things, in particular, are better than anywhere else in town. I suspect that this store has an "in" with local growers of SOMETHING. Basically, this store has pretty much EVERYTHING that a person needs in their household, including some gourmetish items. STAY AWAY FROM: The CHEESE. For some reason, I have had to return several cheese items. I don't think they are storing it properly. Also, the yellow onions look really tired but the white ones are just fine. THE BREAD is also not great. I've never been able to find an expiration date on any of their breads and I am suspicious about that. But at least they HAVE bread, when you're in a pinch. don't expect a lot in the meat department. They used to have a full time person behind the counter, but now the pickings are slim. The store has fallen on hard times since Covid, though, which is why I don't give them 5 stars. They USED to have a full SERVICE department, with Western Union and everything, but now they don't even pay out for the winning lottery tickets. (They do have a lottery machine, however, so at least you can buy them there.) I think that the pandemic made it difficult for them to get staff, but I am betting that when things improve in that department, they will be able to hire back some of the staff. The location of this store is very convenient, and it is a quick "in" and "out" - which is great for me, because I am disabled and can't be on my feet for very long. They switched from manned checkout stations to "do-it-yourself" about a year ago, but if they see someone struggling, they help them through the procedures. Today, when I went in there, I had a complicated checkout, using two different cards, so one of the gals opened up the manned checkout counter for me. They're nice like that. By the way, in the lot right next door, on 12th and Lomas, there is a small gas station with 4 pumps and a small little 7-11 type store THERE as well - but it's only good for EMERGENCY gas runs because it is very difficult to get in and out of there, the gas pumps NEVER have receipts. They always make you walk into the store to get a receipt from the checker, and their customer service stinks. I just mention it because having the gas station there HAS BEEN convenient a couple times when I was running really low on gas. This IS the best neighborhood place ever! When they're able to get more staff again, when they open up the service counter again, and when they get a real handle on the expiration dates on some of the foods, I'll come back and give them a '5." In the meantime, 4 stars for a great effort, good variety, and surprisingly good quality during difficult times. read more

Nice when you need something on the fly and you're in the area, but prices are HIGH for even the simplest of items. Staff is nice, and place is clean but you're better off "grocery shopping" at a chain place if need be. read more

Great selection of fresh produce and meats. They have plenty of coupons on their app that rotate semi-regularly. You just can't beat bananas for 33 cents a pound. read more

We visited Lowe's Market, as we saw that it was close to our AirBnB, and needed to pick up a few food and drink items. It has that neighborhood, corner grocery store kind of feel to it, with not a lot of people shopping and one person working, and just the basics and essentials here. We noticed that they do have some high-quality brand items we were looking for, yet with a limited selection. With that said, prices were on the higher side, but the items here weren't Whole Foods standards, if that makes sense. I'd say a mix of lower and higher brand items can be found here. The already-prepared food was lackluster, even the fresh produce of sliced fruit and packaged salads didn't seem all that appealing. We also visited in the evening, so items for the day could've been already been shopped for. But at least we found a few essentials of what we needed for our stay. read more

Only if you have no other choice. There are two people that work there that are nice. Everyone else seems miserable or straight up mean. The new robo cashiers are terrible and one of the women that helps with the robo cashiers is cold rude and just awful. The wine is often off bad rotten. and they won't refund. They keep marking up prices. The entryway often wreaks of cigarettes. It should be a neighborhood market but it's a no boo hood market. Just depressing. Sooooo over priced. read more

Small corner local market, but with almost everything and anything a neighborhood market should offer. They are constantly filling the shelves with new products, so everything is fresh. Lots of choices - in a small space. Very clean with friendly, professional employees. When you've invited last minute guests to dinner and you realize that you have nothing for that salad, or dessert . . . Lowe's will save you from running to a big chain supermarket. Plus, they have a great wine & beer selection. Parking is limited, but there always is a space. Always a basket. Always a smile. Always a "Thank You!" as you rush off to fix that company dinner. read more

We live in the neighborhood and prefer to patronize this local market vs the larger chains, though it's starting to not be worth it anymore. The customer service is really sad. The workers always seem very "overwhelmed " and management/corporate have not listened to us customers. They insist on ushering everyone to the "self-checkout" kiosks. If this continues, I guess I will just go to Walmart where the prices are lower anyway. the whole point of a small neighborhood market is to have friendly, helpful people who recognize you when you come in. Please fix this!!! If you are having a hard time finding good workers, pay them more! read more

Gave it two stars for the local food they sell but I don't work there and I don't want to have to check myself of out. I'm tired off all these stores forcing us to check ourselves out yet we don't get a discount to do the work ourselves... read more

I am so upset by the little trans guy who seems to be the general mangager of this store. Last week, I saw a little old man walk over there - it was cold and windy and he seemed really beat down when he got in the store. I saw again at the cash register that was trying to purchase some beer. He looked to be in his 80s but the manager was really smirky while he wouldn't let him purchase the beer because his id was expired. I tried to buy the beer for him with my valid i.d. but this smug little jerk threatened to call the law because I was trying to buy alcohol for someone without i.d. This is my neighborhood grocery store - by far the most convenient place to shop but I won't shop there again until that awful person is fired. read more

Prices are great, staff is always super friendly, nice selection. While I was there a lady in line offered to purchase the items the woman in front of her could not afford. Love these acts of kindness! read more

I live very close to the Lowes Grocery Store on 11th and Lomas and I have been shopping there for 15 years. The staff there are now so horribly rude that I will consider no longer shopping there. Today I was purchasing some n.a. beer and my teenaged son was with me at the checkout. He was being helpful and picked up the 6 pack of beer for me. The manager came running over and threatened to refuse service to me because my son was touching the non alcoholic beer. My son immediately set it down, but she continued raging at us and threatening to kick us out. I obliged and left without my groceries. She followed us out of the store yelling that we were being rude! I am a middle aged woman and my son is a sweet boy who didn't know that he shouldn't touch the beer. I have seen employees there be incredibly rude to countless customers - particularly people of color. I think it's really unfortunate that the staff there are trained to treat customers so terribly. read more

Hands down... the best Posole and Green Chili Stew! I am from Albuquerque and have tasted all variations of these recipes! My husband and I agree that Lowe's freshly made soups are the best in town. Try it! You'll crave it! Note: Call ahead to make sure they have some because it goes quickly!! read more

This is my neighborhood market! The staff here is great! The store is always kept clean and well stocked. The sushi here is good & is made fresh daily. read more

I was absolutely amazed by the cleanliness , the sheer volume of options for a store of this size, the wonderful customer service, and the low prices. It was a pleasure shopping here and the music was really good. read more

Stopping at the Lowe's grocery down by old town to get some water. Dude tries to start a fight with us in the parking lot; the full on "do you wanna go?" I'm with my wife and teenage daughter, so I'm not happy about it, but we go in and shop. Dude gets behind us in line; he's buying beer. My wife tells me to go start the car and take the kid. Security comes up to the dude and asks if he's okay. Dude weighs more than all three of us put together, starting a fight, women and kids around, mr macho--security wants to make sure HE is safe. What's up with that? read more

Let me start with... Wait for it... WOW! This is the most improved grocery in the whole of ABQ. There is a mix of conventional and organic products, and the feel of the store is really nice. When you walk in, you feel sorta like you walked into a Wholefoods. I would shop here more, but they aren't really close to my house. But, if I lived in the area, I would totally make a stop here. I was sort of shocked "amazed" at the beer selection. They have a full liquor selection, but the beers are many and varied. Seriously, the old Lowe's was crazy weird, the new Lowe's is awesome. read more

Lowe's Corner Market - Lowe's Corner Market - Grocery Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I work right across the street... I mean, I could legitimately throw a quarter and definitely hit the parking lot, if not one of their little plants out front. I remember the first day I stopped into Lowe's (wow, it feels like forever ago) because it was my first day on the job and my bosses were running late. They said, check out the coffee across the street! Apppparently they were talking about 7-11, ew, but I just assumed the grocery store. Now, I hear I've been quite lucky to check this place out POST remodeling, so I'll gladly take it. I ended up purchasing a crazy blend of coffees that I mixed (7.99/lb) and got a bunch of mini bagels and a tub of cream cheese. Who doesn't love a new girl that supplies breakfast treats? Der. Anyways, I go here at least once or twice a week for groceries for my lunch, rather than buying something at a restaurant all the time. Things I love: the $5.99 rotisserie chicken. I buy one of these bad boys and have chicken salads and chicken sandwiches for lunch for days! Their soups are $3.99 (for about a bowl's worth) and my fave is the cream of green chile chicken. They rotate in other soups; wedding soup, vegetable beef, broccoli cheddar, chicken noodle, but posole and stew seem to remain daily, as well as any additional. They offer macaroni salad, mustard potato sal and chicken sal too. They have breakfast burritos for $3.99 daily also, as well as little packaged lunches they create *red chile beef enchiladas, green chile chicken enchiladas, wings, ham and mac and cheese, cod and vegetables, etc* You can find decent little sales here some weeks, and other weeks it's full price all the way lol. I like to get bags of romaine lettuce when they go on sale for 2 for $5. Also, a less expensive brand they offer "Shurfine" is actually quite tasty. Very similar to Kroger. And sometimes 16oz of assorted cheese goes on sale for 99c! They have 88c and 99c loaves of bread, too. The gentlemen who work behind the deli are the sweetest. I've also found deals on bacon wrapped jalapenos and pounds of bacon at the deli. Just have to be there at the right time, and for me, I'm there ALL of the time...lol ;) check this little market out though! Customer service is amazing and they have great little plants and flowers on sale often too! read more

See all

This is the corner market replete with everyday groceries. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars ? I could not find any metal tableware, forks, spoons and such. Had to settle for plastic. I guess if it is not edible, you go to the main store instead of the neighborhood market. Great "to go" hot dishes and wonderful staff. read more

Neat selection of products, friendly staff, but way way overpriced, the markup here on products on average is 25% or in some cases 50% money does not stretch far here and they don't have unique items, 90% of what you can find you can find at Walmart. Will use as a one stop but will continue my hunt for a local inexpensive option in Albuquerque. I was spoiled on the east coast with large German retail group driving prices way down. In most cases Albuquerque is far more expensive to live in than ever before. read more

Wow rude as hell here and worst service ever. No wonder they need a security guard....I almost wanted to slap the cashier.

I have lived by the 4th street Lowes since day one, and even though it isn't as fancy as the downtown Lowes, I have always enjoyed shopping there. It opens early enough to get those emergency items that you really need in the morning, and it stays open late enough for the evening items that you forgot. I have always enjoyed the service from the staff and especially the manager. She was always very caring and attentive to her customers' needs. I recently heard she was promoted, and will not be at this store. It's sad for us, but good for her because she truly deserves the best. read more

This has got to be the most fun I've had in the grocery in a long time. I walked in and immediately was hearing The Bee Gees being played, followed by hit after classic hit. The store is packed with stuff and has a great selection of whatever you need. The customers are definitely colorful, which makes for great people watching as you shop. It's like going to a big city market right here in little ol Albuquerque, but I can see how that's not for everyone. I'll keep coming back for the sick tunes, and the diverse clientele. read more

I have been in this store numerous times, if you intend to buy produce, be careful. Almost everything I have bought here has been bad, even when it looked just fine when I bought it, not good when it tends to be pricey compared to other places. I have had rude service most of the time. At least the store and parking lot are well maintained, though some may feel a bit claustrophobic inside. read more

I used to affectionately refer to this little neighborhood grocery store as the "ghetto Lowe's" as they had a rather scary clientele, dark parking lots, and 6 brands of lard. That is NOT THE CASE ANYMORE! They remodeled this store a couple of years and it is absolutely charming. From the metal cutouts of wheat (or corn?) at the entrance, to the new signage, to the layout. They really did the neighborhood proud with this remodel. Although not the cheapest place to shop for groceries, it's still not horribly overpriced and has a fine selection of fresh vegetables, and organic section, a deli with delightful green chile enchiladas and roasted chickens, an olive bar and even a sushi bar! Also new is their liquor license. It has a decent liquor selection (pricing is about $1-3 more per bottle, but it's convenient.) The wine selection is quite sad but the craft beer selection MORE than makes up for it. Local and national craft brews overpower the dull American lagers. It's absolutely wonderful to be able to get organic blue corn chips, local salsas, local beer, Santa Fe hummus and anything one needs to get by for the week two blocks from home, in downtown Albuquerque. read more

This is what grocery shopping looks like, gentrified. Gluten-free and organic products throughout. Wood-paneled walls and shelving, an updated storefront emphasizing "natural" stone and cedar overtones (quite likely imported materials), CARPET(?), and a microbrew selection that dwarfs the produce. Nice priorities. The strange thing is that this kind of just occurred out of thin air. For those of us who at one time lived downtown only to find ourselves commuting all over the city for groceries because we couldn't stomach (sometimes literally) the products and lack of service at the old Lowe's, this is a godsend. Honestly, it's ridiculous that the financial center of the city went so long without a solid grocery store, but I'm betting the pressure was on corporate headquarters after the Mayor recently announced an exploration to fund just such a project. And that's pretty awesome. Finally, downtown is developing into the kind of place a person can live, shop and play. For the time being, it appears that Lowe's will be recouping the remodel expense by upping the prices a good buck or two - on everything - so expect to drop a dime here, but it ain't Whole Wallet. The selection is limited, but fresh, and the meats and fish look worthy. So how 'bout it, neighboring 7-11? I think those gas pumps could use an update. Wood paneling, perhaps? That old parking lot could use some carpeting. And inside, an espresso bar, staffed with a barista perhaps? I could totally munch on some gluten-free cookies, while you're at it. Yep, now that there's a new Lowe's the possibilities are truly endless... read more

Yes, it's weird to have carpet in a grocery store. I don't get that. However, the selection at this store has improved so much I'm giving them 4 stars just for effort. Back in the day, you couldn't get anything here but diapers and fried pork rinds... Now you can get good fresh produce and organic items! I REALLY appreciate being able to walk to get groceries instead of driving all the way to Smith's. Keep it up Lowe's, you're on the right track. read more

Most products are way overpriced. I paid $10 for a jar of PB that I've gotten at Walmart for $2 - same brand, same size, same everything... Be careful buying produce! 60% of the fruits and vegetables I have bought has turned out to be rotten or moldy. The center "pseudo refrigerated" aisles do NOT do a good job of keeping food cool during the summer. These are the sections with the cut fruit & veg, hummus, guacamole, prepared, perishable meals. Hummus and guacamole shouldn't be hairy nor taste cultured, akin to goat cheese. The selection isn't great, either. read more

We have nicknamed this local oasis in the downtown-Old Town food desert "Blows." They are a very limited selection of brand name foods and household goods at prices so high you swoon at checkout. They also carry fairly priced but low quality generic items produced marketed under the Shur-shine label. Fresh produce is not so fresh. Organic produce is available if you are very rich. The cashiers are usually unhappy and sour-pussed. I would give them one star but they do sell beer, wine and spirits; are open late on week nights; they keep the store and its parking lot impeccably clean; and they are often my only choice when shopping locally. The one exception to the usually profit-grasping, food-desert, kick-them-when-they're-down tactics is the butchers' counter. The quality of the meats are good, and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. The prices remain astronomical however. When you actually consider grocery shopping at the 7-Eleven next door instead, you know something is wrong. read more

Sure they may not have everything you are looking for but to walk into this grocery store now and remember what it use to be like....a total 180!! The staff is helpful, the produce is great (those digitized scales are spiffy), they have awesome gluten-free & organics selections, the liquor selection is impressive, the olive bar is like WHOA, and their bathrooms are so clean! I can't totally decide if I'm a fan or creeped out by the carpet. However, I will say that it makes the shopping experience much quieter. They have a full-service meat & seafood counter and I think I'll be giving that a whirl in the near future. I have a Lowe's by my house and this one makes me envious!! Nicely done Lowe's, nicely done. read more

Me and my mom called Lowe's just because we wanted to go feed ducks. the lady on the phone didn't try to help us find any grapes. she said they don't have any and hung up. read more

Even though I live very near I shop here less and less. Watching my food dollar I only buy a few items in a pinch. The remodel was great at the time. The selection is good for its size. But what I dread is the unfriendly mood of the place. I was overcharged today. Had to go to customer. The cashier communicated that I was heading to the manager on duty. She said out loud in an irritated tone "I'm right here!!" No apology or thank you. It's always the canned scripted " have a nice day". read more

Lowe's is my neighborhood market. The butcher shop and produce are good. The liquor department is expensive and with COVID 19, they've shot up their prices even more. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the day manager is another matter. He's a small man with a Napoleon complex, and he likes to order customers around with a type of rudeness that is unlike anything else I've experienced. Today, he ordered everyone in the Customer Service line to wait outside, even though there was no sign that we were to be treated differently from other customers. I complained stating that this is not clear when we've 15 minutes to go into the store that customer service is not considered a regular part of its service. I've had run ins with this man before, and every time I think this is the last time I'll go in there, despite its convenience. Now, I'm convinced. read more
