Food Lion in Apex offers a mix of positive and negative experiences, reflecting its changing environment. The store is generally clean and well-maintained, with a good selection of products, including produce and prepared foods, which are often praised for their quality and affordability. Customers appreciate the store's prices, especially when using the free MVP card, which can save 10-15% on each visit. The store’s bakery features popular items like pumpkin cake slices, and the meat selection is considered one of the best in town, though some note the absence of certain items like pork belly. Additionally, many find the public restrooms to be among the best in grocery stores. However, recent changes have disappointed some shoppers. The addition of self-checkout stations has been unpopular, with customers feeling that the store has lost its personal touch. Several reviews mention poor customer service at checkout, with cashiers often ignoring customers or not greeting them, and some staff appearing bored or distracted, which affects the shopping experience. There are also concerns about the reduction of fresh meats and the removal of popular gluten-free products like Magnolia pound cake mixes, which customers miss. Parking and store cleanliness remain good, but the overall atmosphere and service quality seem to have declined for some shoppers, making their experience less satisfying than before. Despite these issues, Food Lion remains a convenient place for essentials, valued for its prices and product quality.
Great Food Lion in Apex! Joyce and the management are good folks. The employees are good folks. Not as well laid out as I'd hoped.. I do run into the occasional problem of an item being out of stock or something. I do enjoy shopping here!

Good prices but not the nicest of grocery stores. In the local area, the competition is fierce among Harris Teeter, Publix, Lowes and Wegman’s. The shopping experience at Food Lion does not come close to those
