Food Lion invests $365M to remodel stores in North Carolina, Virginia

Fueled by a $365 million capital investment, Food Lion is ready to unveil remodeled stores in the greater Raleigh-Durham, N.C., area and in Mecklenburg County, Va., the company announced.

The Salisbury, N.C.-based grocery retailer will hold ribbon-cutting events at 167 stores on Aug. 21. 

The upgraded stores include a new, broader product assortment and meal solutions that are ready to eat, ready to cook, and ready to heat. 

Stores will also feature the retailer’s fresh & simple-branded meals, and nearly all stores are introducing self-checkout lanes. 

An enhanced locally grown assortment of produce now includes 25 to 30 seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Customers also will have access to an ecommerce solution in all stores, including Food Lion To Go pickup and home delivery options. Online orders may be placed on the Food Lion To Go website or through the app.

In addition, Food Lion’s remodeled stores feature energy-efficient LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors to help reduce the grocer’s environmental footprint. 

During the ribbon-cutting events, the first 100 customers will receive giveaways and a gift card, with a chance to win a grand prize of $1,000 in Food Lion gift cards.
