Food Lion announced a more than $270 million investment across 94 stores in Greater Greensboro and the Triad, including Yanceyville, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to the region while delivering an improved shopping experience for customers.

Inspired by associate and customer feedback, the enhancements are designed to create an easy, fresh and affordable shopping experience, giving customers more convenient ways to shop in-store, through pickup and/or home delivery.

“Food Lion has proudly served the Greater Greensboro and Triad communities for more than 50 years, growing alongside generations of neighbors who have trusted us to be part of their everyday lives," said Greg Finchum, President, Food Lion. "These investments are designed for the neighbors who count on us for fresh food, affordable prices and convenience. We're also investing in our associates, whose care and dedication make a difference every day. Together with our support for local hunger-relief organizations, this investment reflects our commitment to nourishing our neighbors in the towns and cities we serve."

On November 4, Food Lion celebrated its investment with participating stores hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:45am. Before the ribbon cutting, 10 lucky winners were selected at random through raffle tickets for a chance to win $1,000 in Food Lion gift cards. Following the drawing and ceremony, customers were invited to explore the newly remodeled store. As part of the celebration, the first 100 customers received special giveaways and gift cards. Additionally, customers will have additional chances to win prizes through scratch tickets available at the register through November 10.

Food Lion Feeds Supports Local Hunger Relief

As a leader in addressing food insecurity, Food Lion Feeds continues to invest in local organizations that nourish neighbors and strengthen communities.

More than 20 years ago, Food Lion became the first grocery retailer in the country to establish a food rescue program with Feeding America®, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization. All stores regularly donate unsaleable but edible food that might otherwise go to waste to local feeding agencies to support their clients’ nutritional needs. Since 2025, Food Lion stores in the greater Greensboro-area donated more than 10 million pounds of food through this program to Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

Through Food Lion Feeds, the omnichannel retailer has donated more than 1.5 billion meals to individuals and families since 2014 and is committed to doubling its efforts with a goal to provide a total of 3 billion meals by 2032.
