SALISBURY, NC - North Carolina-based Food Lion made headlines recently for its major investment in store upkeep. The retailer unveiled a capital investment exceeding $50 million for its remodeled stores in Wilmington, North Carolina, featuring a new, easier shopping experience for customers.

“Food Lion has been a proud neighbor in the Wilmington community for 40 years,” said Meg Ham, President of Food Lion. “From a brand-new look and feel to more convenient grab-and-go items to make any meal easier, each store has made big changes with our customers in mind. We remain committed to keeping our prices low every day, offering great promotions and other opportunities to save. We are excited for our neighbors to experience the enhancements we have made just for them.”

The retailer held 24 ribbon-cutting events in the Wilmington area on May 10 and has planned five more to follow soon. As noted in the release, the investment includes remodeling the stores, providing e-commerce at each location through pickup and/or home delivery options, training and developing associates to provide the best customer experience, and giving back to local communities.

While renovating and refreshing its look, the redesign reflects Food Lion’s continued commitment to the towns and cities it serves, providing an easy, fresh, and affordable shopping experience. Features include an extensive product assortment 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 will also have more healthy options and a large selection of organic, gluten-free, and plant-based items to choose from.

Food Lion’s enhancements also include offering convenience for shoppers with Food Lion To Go grocery pickup or home delivery service.
