Food Lion — Local services in Sumter

Ok, I’m a fan. Truth be told this place is in a broke down old building and I was more curious than anything. We went in once for bread and I didn’t look around for much else but we did apply for the grocery store card for discounts. Last night I went later at night and forgot card. I had time on my hands so I explored the store and many products. The produce was great, better than I’ve seen around lately. Baked breads, deli meats and cheese section were good too. Cakes looked nice and there were so many colors and options! I noticed that prices were very average and the yellow stickers all over highlight discount offers with the store discount card (which was free to apply for) were everywhere! My 6$ Bare Naked granola was 2$ off. The knife rice packets that make my weeknight meals easy one or twice a week were 1$ with card compared to $1.58. A third off on a grocery staple is a win! Not only was it fully stocked with so many products, the aisles are wide a roomy and it seems very clean. Now that I think about it out it there was a man using a floor cleaning machine and a man near the offices sweeping back areas. There were a few products I wanted but without my savings store card I passed on. At the register I asked the associate if there was a way to reference my card and she put my phone number in and like magic, my bill went down about 8$! There is also a full beer and wine selection at the far end of the store. I thought to myself “I may only be shopping here now” last night when I was there. Very...

This store is a great place to shop, known for its consistently clean and well-maintained environment. The commitment to cleanliness enhances the overall shopping experience, creating a positive atmosphere for customers. The attention to detail in maintaining a tidy space contributes to the store's appeal.

Moreover, my wife particularly enjoys the selection of cinnamon products available at this store. Whether it's cinnamon-flavored snacks, baked goods, or spices, she appreciates the variety and quality. The aromatic and flavorful essence of cinnamon adds an extra layer of enjoyment to her shopping experience. It's not just about the products; it's about the unique offerings that align with her preferences.

It's not only a place to fulfill our shopping needs but also a destination where the environment and product selection align with our preferences. The positive aspects, such as cleanliness and the appeal of specific items, contribute to the overall satisfaction we experience...

This could be 4 stars only because this is a convenience market, not a huge super market, so don't expect some of the specialty items you might find at a full sized supermarket. However, for the niche this market fills, it does a great job, so I gave it 5 stars.

This store recently underwent a renovation (summer 2019) - new cooler cabinets and a rearrangement of the store sections. Freshened the look, and the foods are probably better temperature controlled.

Produce is fresh, though sometimes the variety is a little smaller than I'd like. Good variety of meats, small variety of seafood.

Wine and beer selection is surprisingly good! Some nice choices there!

Staff has always been friendly and helpful, and that continues on after the renovation, too!

Sometimes at the end of the Shaw Air Force workday, lines can be somewhat long, so be prepared if that is when he...
