Coastal Provisions Market was founded by chefs Dan Lewis and Scott Foster. As long time beach goers, both have realized for years the need for a different type of food store on the coast –large enough to have what you need, small enough to provide great personal service, and truly focused on great food.

Dan and Scott bring three decades of collective experience from the restaurant, hospitality and specialty food retail industry. Most recently, both catered to the discerning palettes at the Washington and New York area's Sutton Place Gourmet and Balducci's. as their head chefs.

With close ties to the Outer Banks, it seemed natural for Scott and Dan to bring their expertise here. And when not at the market, Scott can probably be found out in the surf on his long board.
