“Update 5/19/2024: still a great place to shop for reasonable prices and decent product selection. Update 3/18/2024: for the time since my last update, Food Lion has improved 100%. There's always plenty of cash registers open and now they're open until 11:00 but you have to use self checkout which is fine by me. The employees are very helpful and will ask you if you need help. The prices are still the best in the area.
Update 12/15: Horrible night checking out at Food Lion. No registers were open, only self checkout. I was the second person waiting for self checkout to clear. Unfortunately people were self checking out with full carts and taking their sweet old time. This is ridiculous, especially when a cashier started checking out a few people without his light on, which means he's not open. Now wouldn't you know people waiting mobbed his register which left me waiting for an a woman with a full cart left and an older couple who had no idea how to use the self checkout. Finally, there were three employees at the front watching us get frustrated with this kind of service. Awful, Food Lion dropped 2 stars tonight. Update 10/15: still a great store for low prices. 16 oz box of FL Brand elbow macaroni is $0.99 while Giant a short walk down the street charges $1.29. Store is always well staffed compared to ita competitors. Limited selection of items may not be good for everyone. [END]
While every time I stand slack-jawed, dumbfounded, shocked, and extremely disheartened at the price increases at Giant, Harris Teeter, and Safeway, I keep in mind that Food Lions prices is 25% cheaper for the products my family buy. Food Lion has been the only way for my family to eat healthy and save money to pay for my kids' hockey and figure skating. As people with teenaged boys can attest to, my kids' appetite increases have devastated my finances. Luckily, I have a local Food Lion with prices that make me feel like its the good old days of 2020. God love it, we miss those days. What more do I need to say. The store is clean, well stocked, and adequately staffed which compared to it competitors make this a five star business. Hey Food Lion, don't make me regret my kind review. Unfortunately, we have another 2.5 years of this until we have a chance to put things right after things went South in early 2021.”
“I had a great experience with Ms. Kim and Trinity. They work really hard and make sure the customers are satisfied and helped. As always thank you for your great services!”
