Not far away, a visiting group of grade-schoolers stops by The Cakery to sample the luscious frosting and play the musical chairs-inspired Cakewalk game for a chance to win their own cake square to take home. Meanwhile, an animatronic poultry- themed chandelier suddenly comes to life, its "Cock-a-doodle-doo" sum• moning store associates to break into a chicken dance to celebrate the latest fresh batch of chicken to come out of the oven. Many grocery retailers talk about expe• riential shopping, but few deliver the level of interactivity that Lowes does, bold examples of food theater that entice folks to visit the store and bring the young'uns rather than sit at home and order groceries online — which Lowes also provides, if you're not in the mood for breakfast, lunch or dinner and a show. "It's all about 'retail-tainment' — the expe• rience," the company's president, Tim Lowe, says during a visit to the store near Greenville. First and foremost is the food.
