Food Lion Opens New North Carolina Store
For 50 years, Food Lion has served the Troutman, N.C., community. That service will continue with the opening of the grocer’s new location north of Charlotte on January 29.
According to the company, the new store will offer an enhanced product assortment and feature a layout that has been optimized to ensure convenience and accessibility.
“I’ve had the pleasure of serving Iredell County for nearly 25 years and have appreciated the opportunity to meet many of our wonderful neighbors,” said Eric Bell, store manager of the new Troutman Food Lion. “Our customers count on us to help nourish their families. My team and I are excited to bring our neighbors an expanded assortment of quality, fresh products while providing a convenient place where shopping is easy and affordable.”
On Jan. 29, the new store 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 $200 and a free reusable shopping bag. The store will be open daily from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.
The new store features an extensive product assortment with a specific focus on a variety of affordable and simple meal and time-saving solutions that are ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, or ready-to-heat. The store will also feature fresh produce, quality meats, and many other products to meet individual and family needs.
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 a walk-in garden cooler, ensuring the freshest produce available, in-store prepared cut fruit, freshly made sushi, and a self-service wing and hot favorites bar.
Through its Local Goodness program, Food Lion stores offer a wide variety of regional items sourced from local growers or manufacturers who provide products that are the heart and soul of the community.
Food Lion’s enhancement also includes offering convenience and choices for shoppers by providing Food Lion To Go Pickup and/or Home Delivery options. Online orders may be placed on the Food Lion To Go website or through the app. The convenient 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.
The new store also features energy-efficient LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors to help reduce its environmental footprint.
