Abstract:
Alex Lee Inc. ranks No. 6 among North Carolina’s largest private companies. Owner Brian George is steadily maneuvering dramatic changes and increasing competition running the company’s 74 store retail chain, Lowes Foods and its Hickory based wholesale food distributor, MDI, which supplies more than 600 grocery stores globally. Moses George started the company initially in 1931 and by 1956, it had become Merchants Distributors Inc.
