Food Lion remodels 45 stores; 150 more to be updated in 2015

Salisbury, N.C. --Food Lion has unveiled a new, easier shopping experience for customers in 45 remodeled stores in the greater Greenville, New Bern and Jacksonville, N.C., market.



"Our customers told us that they want a grocery experience where it's easy to shop, easy to save and easy to figure out what is for dinner tonight," said Meg Ham, president of Food Lion. "In these stores, we've worked to deliver just that.”



The remodeled stores include new features that make shopping and saving easier for customers. Food Lion expanded its selection in stores by adding thousands of new items.



Knowing that customers want to get in and out of the store quickly, Food Lion made checkout faster with improved technology, larger display screens so customers can see items and prices as they're scanned and additional associates available to assist and meet the needs of customers.



Food Lion will continue to roll out storewide enhancements in markets over time, including remodels in approximately 150 stores in 2015. The company has not announced the market location at this time.
