Lowes Family Center

Prices are not as competitive as they should be and check out sometimes it is hard to find a partner who works at this store. Cell phone use here hinders checking or self checkout is offered for any customer. Pastry is the first item you see when entering the store. Produce is always stocked and many of the items offered have many facets to them as well as the meat department.

Really surprised at the store has name brand tools like DeWalt Milwaukee, Craftsman and also sell produce and groceries under the same roof. Crossed paths with about 6 employees and no one acknowledged us. Other than that the store was impressively clean and organized.

This is a solid small town grocery store. You have more than one option on just about anything. We were visiting from Fort Worth and are used to the "city slicker" grocery stores that really have a ridiculous amount of options. This store has what you need. BUT....I'm a little perplexed at the pricing. Most of the prices were very good, and really 5% more than you'd pay at a big town grocery store (I mean, c'mon, they have to haul it to San Saba TX), but some things were 20% higher or more (ground coffee for instance). This is the first time we visited San Saba that this place was active (it had burned down the last time we visited and the "temporary" store was near the courthouse). Produce was very decent. They even have gas pumps outside, farm equipment, and an ACE Hardware that is inside the store on the west side of the store. Four stars really has to do with the significant price issues on some items. If you go, please watch the sticker prices.
