“I have had the opportunity to work with Food Lion for close to 20 years, and I’ve served the towns and cities of the Grand Strand in the North Myrtle Beach area for most of my career,” said Jeff Cope, store manager of the new Food Lion. “I’m looking forward to serving neighbors and supporting the Murrells Inlet communities. I’m also excited to bring new employment opportunities to the area.”
Customers can choose from an extensive product assortment, including in-store fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, “grab-and-go” meal options to help make dinner easier and a wide variety of meals for any occasion. This new store also offers the Food Lion To Go service, which enables customers to order their favorite items for pickup.
The store also offers a variety of Food Lion’s Nature’s Promise-brand pork, poultry, milk, eggs, bottled water, cereal, coffee and other items. Nature’s Promise is Food Lion’s affordable brand of wholesome and organic products made with no artificial flavors, preservatives or synthetic colors.
Additionally, neighbors can find a wide variety of local offerings, such as fresh produce grown at Winburn Farms in nearby Horry County, bakery items from Surfside Beach’s Benjamin’s Bakery and craft beers from many of the area’s local craft breweries.
Through the company’s hunger relief platform, Food Lion Feeds, the company is donating $2,500 to the food pantry at Shepherd of the Sea, a feeding agency of Lowcountry Food Bank. The food pantry also will pick up food from the store to distribute to neighbors in need through Food Lion Feeds’ industry-leading food rescue program.
Through Food Lion Feeds, the company has donated more than 750 million meals to neighbors in need since 2014.
