SALISBURY, NC – Food Lion has nourished the Greensboro, N.C., community with access to fresh and affordable foods for more than five decades, and today, on Feb. 11, it will open a new location at 3501 N. Elm St. The store will become Food Lion’s 14th location serving the Greensboro area, highlighting the company’s continued investment in the community.
The Greensboro opening is part of Food Lion’s continued growth and investment across its footprint that also strengthens local economies, creates jobs, and reduces food insecurity. As the brand looks ahead to 2026, Food Lion plans additional new store openings and remodels, building on strong performance and its commitment to fresh food at affordable prices.
The new store reflects Food Lion’s commitment to providing an easy, fresh, and affordable omnichannel shopping experience in the towns and cities it serves. Designed with customers in mind, the location offers a wide selection of fresh, high-quality foods and affordable private brand products, along with the convenience of online ordering. The store also supports the local economy by creating jobs, reducing food insecurity, and strengthening the community through Food Lion Feeds, the retailer’s hunger relief program.
Unique store features include a CO₂ refrigeration system to help products stay fresh as well as separate innovative chillers that use chilled water to cool the store, reducing energy use and supporting a more environmentally friendly approach to air conditioning. In addition, the store offers an easy-to-shop layout, an expanded assortment, pickup and delivery through the Food Lion To Go website or app, and a modern décor inspired by customer feedback. From fresh produce and quality meats to ready-to-eat meals and everyday essentials, the new Food Lion is built to help families nourish their households with confidence and value.
“We’re thrilled to open Food Lion’s newest store here in Greensboro and welcome our neighbors into their new store to experience fresh and affordable groceries,” said Ken Mabe, Store Manager of the new Greensboro Food Lion, in the recent release. “Having spent my entire life in the Triad and nearly 29 years with Food Lion, I’m proud to offer an easy-to-shop store with quality products and services designed around our customers’ needs.”…
