Food Lion

"They always have a really good selection of sales. The prices are good even without sales. They do tend to be sold out of certain things for a long time - for example, I couldn’t get sourdough bread for over a month earlier this year. Update late 2023: this is still a big issue. Stuff can be sold out for weeks at a time - or at least it seems like it - I will check for an item about twice a week and it will be sold out for weeks. Eg. different breads, Beyond Meat, Impossible Sausage, and some frozen meals, things like that. Makes meal planning and shopping very frustrating when they don’t have adequate replacements for what they are sold out of!! *end update Staff is always friendly. Mask mandates are never really enforced here. Most people don’t wear a mask despite the sign on the door. The mandate has since been lifted but I’m still not really comfortable shopping in store with so many people not wearing masks. What I have been doing for the past 6 months is using Food Lion To Go. You just order your groceries online and wait in the parking lot for a staff member to bring them out to your car. It only costs like $2 for this service and it keeps you safe. So don’t let the pandemic keep you from going to the grocery store. Their pickup service works so well, and is super cheap. It’s faster than shopping in store and the employees do a good job choosing fresh produce for me. I’m not going back to shopping in the store myself anytime soon. I’m thankful for this workaround!"

"I'd imagine that north Korea has a better meat section. But it's an overall good grocery store."

"Friendly knowledgeable staff. The store is always bussing with activity. Good selection of what you need at a good price."

"This is not my local store, it is great commuter hub store. They have a good deal of healthier single serve options. Being close to the highway that's a big deal. Ironically, they also have great sushi made fresh in the store! I was leery at first , "in store sushi" but its fresh, good and the chef is incredibly kind! It's a great place to get picnic/workday lunches or dinner on the go. The only downside is they dont open until 7am, missing most the morning commuter traffic. Highly recommend."
