Still won't price match even after showing them that they have raised prices by 60 cents on my favorite Tazo tea and their Target competitors are 1.50 lower. I'll drive the extra 1/2 mile but would love to support my local grocer.

Best food lion I've been to. Always have what I come in for to buy and the staff is ridiculously nice . They seem like they really enjoy their job and enjoy helping customers . The managers there are always out on the floor helping customers and talking to their staff . The young female manager has helped me twice since I started shopping with them . Took me right to the item I needed and then suggested a recipe that she uses . Very nice job! Must check this place out !

Was here once to get a sale item that was sold out elsewhere. This store is much bigger than the other Food Lions near me. And I had a very friendly cashier. If I lived closer I'd use this one over the other two near me.

I've lived in Matthews for over 15 years and shopped at this Food Lion just as long. I like the store because it is smaller and I know exactly where everything is in the store. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. However, if I have a lot of groceries to get and want to save money, I go to Wal-Mart. They are a bit cheaper.

I don't usually comment on grocery stores. I mean lets face it, there is a bunch of inventory on the shelves and you usually load up on what you need and head out. This place is much the same as the rest but the one thing I have noticed is that the staff here is friendly as can be. Every time I'm in here they ask, very sincerely, if there is anything I need help with and are always smiling. Just nice to go to a grocery store where, even if the veggies are mediocre, to have a staff that doesn't make you feel like all they care about is punching a clock.

June2012' corporate made this store clean up and I think changed management. The store is the nicest I have ever seen it. The efforts have made a huge difference in the way that I think of the store and the staff. The previous manager seemed to not put enough emphasis on cleanliness and order. I asked the clerks what happened and one told me that they were told to clean up or be replaced. I say good for corporate taking a stand and showing they were serious about shopper safety and comfort.

How do you rate a grocery store? I've been shopping at this location ever since I moved to Matthews about 5 years ago. The management at Food Lions change about every 2-3 years you'll see a new manager trying to all of a sudden make it a happier place to shop. Usually the old manager has been moved to a different store. I actually worked for food lion for a couple of years, so I have some experience with the frustration that the staff deal with on a daily basis. The Food Lion at Hoods Crossroads is usually pretty clean. The produce section isn't up to HT standards but decent enough where you can find the simple things you need to get by. They actually do have a decent wine selection along with a specialty foods aisle. The cashiers range from teenagers that don't care to moms that are picking up work to bring in some extra income for their family. The moms are usually more considerate and take their time making sure your coupons went through on your order. The ladies in the deli are really nice and always promote the specials over the intercom so you know what's on sale in the deli. Food Lion in no way is a high quality grocery store. It's a grocery store where you can find your staple items and sometimes closeout deals for a relatively inexpensive price.
