Food Lion is preparing to open a new store Jan. 29 at 155 Crosstie Lane in Troutman, North Carolina.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 7:45 a.m. Afterward, the first 100 customers will receive a mystery gift card valued up to $200 and a free reusable shopping bag.
“I’ve had the pleasure of serving Iredell County for nearly 25 years and have appreciated the opportunity to meet many of our wonderful neighbors,” said Eric Bell, store manager. “Our customers count on us to help nourish their families. My team and I are excited to bring our neighbors an expanded assortment of quality, fresh products while providing a convenient place where shopping is easy and affordable.”
The store features an extensive product assortment with a focus on a variety of affordable and simple meal solutions that are ready to eat, cook or heat. In addition, it features fresh produce, meats and other products.
Customers also will find a large selection of organic, gluten-free and plant-based items, including Nature’s Promise, Food Lion’s brand of organic products. In addition, the store features a walk-in garden cooler, along with in-store prepared cut fruit, freshly made sushi and a self-service wing and hot favorites bar.
