Food Lion — Local services in Danville

Food Lion is no longer my first choice when it comes to grocery shopping. Even with it being just right down the road. I would rather drive an extra 10 miles and go to Walmart. Food Lion has gotten outrageous with their prices!! Marking a food item up and then taking a few cents off for using your mvp isn’t a sale. It’s a sham!! Everyone knows inflation isn’t down beyond what the government and the media may report but a lot of the prices in Food Lion is out right crazy!! A half gallon of Food Lion chocolate milk is $3.49; whereas a gallon of Maola chocolate milk is $5.99. You use to be able to purchase Food Lion products cheaper than name brand. But who is going to pay almost $7 for two half gallons when you can get an entire gallon of name brand for cheaper! Food Lion also stopped selling their brand ice cream; forcing consumers that want a frozen treat to have to fork over more money! I use to be able to buy a buggy full of groceries at Food Lion for around $100 but now that same food is costing me almost $175. So instead of having to go without. I now just drive all the way to Walmart. Where that same $175 groceries I was buying at Food Lion, now only cost me right around $80 - $110 depending on if I have to buy name brand or...

This place, at one point, was the friendly neighborhood one stop shop. I felt a homely warmth when purchasing foods here; a trusting bond was once held with what was at one point in time, considered by me, a true caring business. They cared about their customers and not just the dollar signs. Now, I see what a corporate mess they have become. It's honestly sad to see such a trusting bond disappear at the drop of a hat. They've renovated, that's great. The prices for the products you receive, great ratio as it's always been. They've got better trained individuals working for them, awesome. The problem stems from them truly not seeing and helping someone with their everyday issues. What about hot food? Thought that was a regular thing, too? Nope, the company overall varies in many ways from store to store but, they are indifferent in the inner workings. I'm obliged to say that if one finds themselves needing to shop for anything in any foodlion in Danville.. this is not the one to do it. The customer service is the absolute poorest. I'll conclude with if I could give this negative five stars that would, in factuality, be the best rating I...

There are quite a few reasons Food Lion has been rated as the eigth-worst chain in the US. The produce is old and of third quality. It goes bad within a day or two and looks to be the culls no other chain (except maybe Ralph's [THE worst rated chain in the US]) would present for sale.

The international section is very limited and consists of mostly American products that are nothing like the real foods. There's no kosher section at all. Food Lion is essentially a larger version of a neighborhood stop-and-rob.

I pass three Food Lions to go shop at Harris Teeter. I'll pass those three plus a Publix and a Harris Teeter to get to Wegman's.

If you need quality or healthful, you won't find it...
