Food Lion Expanding Presence In South Carolina
Food Lion has had a presence in the South Carolina community of Florence for more than three decades. On August 7, the grocer will strengthen that presence with the opening of a new store at 1945 W. Palmetto St.
A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled on August 7. The first 100 customers will receive a mystery gift card valued up to $200 and a free reusable shopping bag. The store will be open daily from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m.
“I’m honored to continue to serve the town of Florence in our new location,” said David Smith, store manager of the new Florence Food Lion. “Our neighbors will continue to recognize our associates’ familiar faces while finding an expanded assortment at affordable prices. We are committed to delivering an enjoyable shopping experience.”
The new store features an extensive product assortment, including fresh produce, quality meats and many other products to meet individual and family needs with a specific focus on a variety of affordable and easy meal solutions that are ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook or ready-to-heat.
Customers also have a large selection of organic, gluten-free and plant-based items to choose from including Nature’s Promise, Food Lion’s affordable brand of wholesome and organic products made with no artificial flavors, preservatives or synthetic colors. Additionally, the store features in-store prepared cut fruit, sandwiches and salads, specialty cheeses and a self-service hot wing and Asian food bar.
Furthering Food Lion’s commitment to sustainability, the store installed a refrigeration system that lessens its environmental impact. Additionally, energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the store and refrigerated cases with doors impart ambiance, enhance fresh product assortment and decrease energy costs, helping reduce Food Lion’s environmental footprint.
Based on its longtime sustainability measures, Food Lion is the only company in the country to receive the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy for 23 consecutive years.
The store will also offer self-checkout lanes and Food Lion To Go Pickup or Home Delivery services. Online orders may be placed through the Food Lion To Go website or the app. The service allows customers to place an order with the click of a button while experiencing the same low prices and fresh food items they receive in the store.
