SALISBURY, N.C., March 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Consistent
with the grocer's "Easy, Fresh and Affordable. You Can Count on
Food Lion Every Day!" strategy, Food Lion has announced that the
company will remodel its Raleigh,
N.C., market stores in 2015. A complete list of the
Raleigh market stores is available
at www.foodlion.com/newsroom.
"We're proud to have been a part of the Raleigh community since 1975, and are excited
to bring our Raleigh customers our
newest format stores," said Food Lion President Meg Ham. "We've heard from our customers that
they're seeking an easy, quick, convenient shopping experience,
with quality, fresh products and the low prices they've come to
expect from Food Lion. Through the remodels, this is exactly what
Food Lion will deliver."
Since Food Lion announced its "Easy, Fresh and Affordable. You
Can Count on Food Lion Every Day!" strategy in May 2014, the grocer has brought enhancements to
its Raleigh market stores
including its newest assortment of products, selected based on
customer feedback, and new register systems that make checkout
faster, while making savings easier for customers throughout the
store. Additionally, Food Lion's approximately 6,000 associates in
the Raleigh market have been
provided with new customer-centric training to better serve
customers.
"We want our customers and the Raleigh community to know that they can count
on Food Lion for a great shopping experience in our stores every
day. We'll continue to listen to our customers and learn from their
feedback," added Ham.
The Raleigh market remodels are
expected to be completed in stores on a rolling basis between April
and October 2015. Food Lion will
continue to launch enhancements for customers across all of its
1,100 stores in 2015, as well as remodels in markets over time.

receive the store remodels. Seventy-six stores in the greater

2014.
