Lowes Foods - local?

I sent this message today:
"Your "message" on WUNC lauds your NC roots and commitment to local farms and commerce in NC. Yet, today, as I look at your pre-printed insert in a local Chapel Hill newspaper, I find JUST ONE product (some grapes) identified as being "local" or from anywhere in NC. Don't you realize how weird this seems?"
Their response:
"Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting Lowes Foods.

We appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts with us. We are very committed to our local roots and we do try very hard to work with local businesses and farmers to provide our guest with local and homegrown products.

However, there are times where we have to get our products from other resources in order to ensure that our guest have the freshest products available to us.

We certainly understand where you are coming from regarding the advertisement you saw recently and we will gladly forward your comments to our marketing department so your voice can be heard.

If you require additional assistance please feel free to contact Guest Services toll free.

Thank you for allowing us to assist you today!
