Food Lion gets a fresh look

SALISBURY, N.C. Food Lion announced that it has remodeled thirty-one stores in Columbia, S.C. and Florence, S.C., as part of its ongoing "Take A Fresh Look" renewal efforts.

"This is an exciting time for Food Lion and our customers, as we celebrate a fresh, new look, a greater selection of products and a renewed focus on service," said Bobby Tatum, director of operations for the markets. "We wanted to enhance our customers' shopping experience through a more inviting interior design and have expanded our fresh departments, including produce, meats and deli/bakery, as well as our organic selection."

The new signage, decor and enhanced lighting give the stores the atmosphere of a neighborhood marketplace, the company reported. The remodeling work also is designed to give stores more space to provide a greater selection of products, including more natural and organic foods and expanded beer and wine offerings. The stores have been undergoing renovation for a number of months.
