"We're proud to have been a part of the greater Greensboro community since 1968, and are excited to bring our newest format to this market," said Food Lion President Meg Ham.

We want to ensure our customers can easily find fresh, quality products to nourish their families at affordable prices every day, delivered with caring, friendly service every time they shop."
Since Food Lion launched its "Easy, Fresh and Affordable...You Can Count on Food Lion Every Day!" strategy, the grocer has brought enhancements to its Greensboro stores including product expansion, new registers, price investments and enhanced service. When the remodels are complete, among the key benefits customers will be able to take advantage of include:
Fresh, new stores designed to be easier to navigate and shop so customers can get in and out of the store quickly.
Expanded variety and assortment that is relevant to our customers in each store, such as more local products, natural and organic selections and healthier snack options.
Greensboro is the fifth market to be remodeled and the stores are expected to be completed on a rolling basis between March and August 2017. Food Lion will continue to launch enhancements across its more than 1,000 stores in 2017, as well as remodel additional markets over time.
