With a $77M capital investment, the grocer has enhanced the customer shopping experience at its stores in Greenville, Jacksonville and New Bern, North Carolina.
The investment includes an extensive product assortment with a focus on affordable and easy meal solutions that are ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook or ready-to-heat. It also featured the installation of energy-efficient overhead LED lighting and refrigerated cases with doors, as well as e-commerce options across all stores through pickup or home delivery.
In addition, most renovated stores are introducing self-checkout lanes, allowing customers to choose to check out with a cashier or by themselves. Earlier this year, Food Lion unveiled 30 remodelled stores in Wilmington, North Carolina, with a capital investment exceeding $50M.
“These remodels also reflect our ongoing commitment to invest in the growth and development of our associates so they can provide a shopping experience customers can count on,” said Meg Ham, President, Food Lion. “From a brand-new look and feel to more convenient grab-and-go items to make any meal easier, each store has made big changes with our customers in mind, so they can nourish their families affordably and make life a little easier.”
