“Food Lion is a great place to shop! The staff are always welcoming and over the years they know me by name. Prices are good and their savings card and deals provide additional saving. Our FL is about 2 miles from a high-end grocery store where prices for the same items are out of sight. I shop there from time to time to get items that FL doesn't stock, but that's not often. I always wonder why folks pay 10 percent plus to shop at the upscale store when FL is just down the road? I can well afford to shop there, but why waste the money? I would rather invest it! You won't regret shopping at FL. I always leave with a BIG smile and I think you will, too!”
“Spacious, friendly, and unique. Lucksters is an amazing collection of farm fresh vegetables and bespoke local culinary delights. Where yoohoo lives next to kumbucha. Try your luck with the lottery, or catch up on Walker Texas Ranger.”
“I need to get past my phobia of gas station grilles. I dropped my car off for service and needed a quick breakfast, and nothing was open within walking distance except Tommy's. Walked past this place twice before finally deciding to check it out. The coffee and SE&C biscuit I had hit the spot-- I was honestly surprised by how good that was. And the prices were beyond reasonable. I Highly recommend Tommy's. Might grab another coffee once my car is done. ?”
“The produce, meat, and dairy departments are a hit or miss often. Pay close attention when making purchases for freshness. Even if the date is correct, the food can be spoiled I'm assuming poor handling.”
“I absolutely love this grocery store!..Very clean, workers are friendly and helpful..Also, the salad bar is absolutely fantastic!..I have it everyday for lunch..”
“This location is small on the inside and very cluttered. Every time I am here it's cluttered. You can find anything here. Food, house products, toys, cleaning supplies and more. They now offer self checkout witch allows for the lines to move fast.”
“So here goes my opinion, first of all the manager Stephanie what can I say.. I absolutely love her, she is an amazing person. the store used to be so bad to the point you could not get through any aisle from junk, trash etc. when she came in she cleaned that store up. I really enjoy conversating with her when I'm there I enjoy all the other workers too they are sweet and really kind. but Stephanie really improved that store! but there's only so much one person can do as for the outside, I have already defended her on this to customers that have complained about the trash outside and this comes from customers that have a lack of respect for anything or anyone I have literally watched a man change the oil in his car and throw the oil containers in the parking lot, they're throwing tires dirty diapers drink cans you name it it's out there because of customers and they have tried to clean it up but there's so much one person can do while working inside the store usually there's only one or two people working at a shift people were just throwing their house trash in the dumpsters people really lack self-respect anymore but as for this store it is my favorite store because of the people. Trust me when I say if you go here you will feel welcomed very much, Stephanie you rock girl!!”
“Witnessed a great act of kindness tonight in DG. Handicapped man came in his electric wheelchair stopped working. One of the wonderful young man was helping him, calmly talking to him. Helped him to the restroom and Helped him find a way home. This young man went above and beyond to make this gentleman feel better about his situation. God bless him and the young man that took him home. I was overwhelmed with emotions just watching how gentle and kind he treated a stranger. Hats off to this young man. Oh, and the store was clean, isles cleared and shelves stocked.”
“Needed help with a service problem with my Straight Talk phone. Jordan in electronics went way above and beyond to resolve the multiple problems I was having. He was what every employee should strive to be: friendly, knowledgeable about the products he was selling and efficient with the time required to get my issues taken care of.”

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
