Food Lion this month held grand reopening ceremonies for 162 stores in the greater Raleigh, N.C., market.
The stores were remodeled as part of a $250 million capital investment this year — the largest in the grocer’s history — that also involved lowering prices and investing in associates and in the community, the company said.
"Food Lion has been a proud neighbor in the Raleigh community for 40 years," commented company president Meg Ham. "On the anniversary of our four decades in the market, we spent the year making significant investments in our stores, our customers, our associates and our community to offer a new grocery shopping experience where customers can easily find fresh, quality products at affordable prices every day, delivered with caring, friendly service every time they shop."
As part of the celebration festivities on October 14, the company gave away free groceries to the first 100 customers at each location in the greater Raleigh market. Food Lion Feeds has also donated a one-of-a-kind mobile food pantry, valued at over $100,000, or the equivalent of more than 1 million meals, to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.
