SOUTH CAROLINA - Ahold-owned Food Lion is building out its footprint on the East Coast, this time by opening two new stores in South Carolina. The retailer recently opened its doors in both Chesnee and Inman, aiming to eat up a larger slice of the region’s retail pie.

“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue my career with Food Lion,” said Tina Bennet, Store Manager of the new Chesnee location, according to Announce. “I’m also grateful to continue to serve the associates and the community as we open our new Food Lion. I look forward to seeing our neighbors and seeing them enjoy the new store.”

Local news source GoUpstate reported that these two stores opened on Wednesday, March 10, 2021. Each of the stores are now housed in facilities which were formerly occupied by BI-LO.

The store will feature a myriad of bulk and value-added fresh produce offerings in addition to extensive grab-and-go options and an impressive organic selection. WP Rawl Farms is just one of the local produce suppliers who will be featured in these stores.

“I have called Inman home for 23 years and I am honored to be a part of the new Food Lion,” said Wade Dunagin, Store Manager of the new Inman location. “I am excited about serving the community in which I call home. I look forward to giving Inman a store and staff it can always count on.”
