Food Lion Completes Major Store Remodel Project
Food Lion has put the final touches on a major store remodel initiative that includes physical upgrades at 47 locations across North Carolina.
The $77 million capital investment includes stores in the communities of Greenville, Jacksonville and New Bern. The store upgrades include an extensive product assortment, including fresh produce, quality meats and many other products to meet individual and family needs with a focus on a variety of affordable and easy meal solutions that are ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook or ready-to-heat.
Shoppers will also have more healthy options and a large selection of organic, gluten-free and plant-based items to choose from including Nature’s Promise, Food Lion’s affordable brand of organic products made with no artificial flavors, preservatives or synthetic colors.
Food Lion’s enhancements also include offering convenience for shoppers by featuring an eCommerce solution in all stores including Food Lion To Go grocery pickup and/or home delivery options. Online orders may be placed on the Food Lion To Go website or the Food Lion To Go app.
“Food Lion has been a proud neighbor in the Greenville, Jacksonville and New Bern communities for 43 years,” said Meg Ham, president of Food Lion. “We’re excited to welcome our neighbors in these towns and cities into their fresh, new Food Lion. These remodels also reflect our ongoing commitment to invest in the growth and development of our associates so they can provide a shopping experience customers can count on.”
The enhancements also feature eCommerce options across all stores through pickup or home delivery and energy-efficient overhead LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors. Inspired by customer and associate feedback, most stores are introducing self-checkout lanes.
On Aug. 2, the newly remodeled stores each will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:45 a.m. Afterward, the first 100 customers in line will receive a mystery gift card valued up to $250, free reusable shopping bag and trunk organizer.
