“This Food Lion is so much nicer than most in the Forsyth County area. Probably due to its location and the fact that it has to compete with Harris Teeter & Lowes Foods. It's not my usual grocery store but I do enjoy shopping here occasionally. There is always ample parking here since it's located in a larger shopping center, with several unoccupied storefronts. Food Lion has always been a consistent and reliable grocery store when it comes to finding the items that so need. The produce section is great and they even have organic fruits and vegetables, if you're looking for them. The deli always has a nice selection of hot, ready to eat items if you're in a rush to prepare a quick meal. I've always appreciated the welcoming and friendly demeanor of the staff, as well. Overall, Food Lion is a consistent, quality chain of grocery stores and this location is on par, if not better than most!”
“If you like a spotlessly clean, bright place to shop for your groceries, go to Publix. If you like neat, highly organized shelves (think Patrick Bergin in "Sleeping with the Enemy"-level organized) where it is easy to find goods, go to Publix. If you like a polite, friendly, crisply dressed staff who stands ready to assist you in any of your shopping needs, go to Publix. If you like a grocery store that greets you with the scents and sense of cleanliness and freshly baked bread, go to Publix. If you like the best melons you have ever had, go to Publix. That last one may seem out of place, but it is true. Hear me out: let's talk melons. I am referring to the much-maligned cantaloupe and honeydew melons. Think about this: when you order a fruit cup at a restaurant, what fruits will you likely be served? Cantaloupes and honeydews top that list in my experience. Along with some red grapes. An occasional pineapple chunk, a strawberry, or a blueberry, perhaps, but honeydew and cantaloupe are always present. Why is this? It is because they are inexpensive, hold their shape, and do not liquefy like other fruits. But restaurants tend to order them underripe (to accentuate the firmness and shelf life), and the result is that they don't taste good. And people don't like them. This is unfortunate. And it can be fixed. I would like to invite you to try the cantaloupes and honeydew melons Publix carries. Specifically, and you must get the correct ones, Publix holds a contract with a fruit grower in California named King o' the West. They produce a green honeydew melon and an orange honeydew melon (orange dew) that will likely redefine your feelings on these fruits. They are the best melons I've ever tasted. Publix also carries a fantastic cantaloupe called Sugar Kiss. I would suggest trying that one as well. In addition to these melons, Publix also stocks some brands of items you won't find at grocers whose headquarters are more local. In addition, they are also known for their outstanding sub sandwiches. Publix's motto is "Where shopping is a pleasure". Go see for yourself.”
