Food Lion will hold ribbon-cutting events at 47 remodeled stores in the Greenville, Jacksonville, and New Bern, North Carolina areas, tomorrow.
With a $77 million capital investment, Food Lion has enhanced the customer shopping experience in these remodeled stores, according to the retailer.
Its investment includes a product assortment with a focus on a variety of affordable and easy meal solutions that are ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, or ready-to-heat.
The enhancements also feature ecommerce options through pickup or home delivery and energy-efficient overhead LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors.
In response to customer and associate feedback, most stores are introducing self-checkout lanes. Additionally, there was a focus on training and developing associates to provide the best customer experience.
“Food Lion has been a proud neighbor in the Greenville, Jacksonville and New Bern communities for 43 years,” said Meg Ham, President, Food Lion, in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome our neighbors in these towns and cities into their fresh, new Food Lion. These remodels also reflect our ongoing commitment to invest in the growth and development of our associates so they can provide a shopping experience customers can count on. 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, so they can nourish their families affordably and make life a little easier.”
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies will take place tomorrow at 7:45 a.m. The first 100 customers will receive a mystery gift card valued up to $250, a free reusable shopping bag and trunk organizer.
