SALISBURY, N.C., Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With more shoppers opting to save time by ordering groceries online, Food Lion is excited to announce the expansion of its Food Lion To Go grocery pick up service to 25 more stores in the Carolinas beginning Dec. 12. With the availability of this service at these new stores and the recent expansion of home delivery, the omnichannel retailer now offers Food Lion to Go pickup or home delivery at 86% of its 10-state operating area.

The launch of this service comes just in time to make holiday shopping even easier. Food Lion is offering shoppers their first pickup for free.

Customers can confirm availability and place orders through the Food Lion To Go website or the Food Lion To Go app. With just the click of a button, shoppers can place an order, pick up their groceries on the same day and experience the same low prices and fresh food items they have come to expect without ever leaving their car.

“With some of the busiest months ahead for our customers, we are excited to expand this convenient service to more stores in the Food Lion footprint so our customers can spend more time on what matters most to them,” said Evan Harding, Director of Digital and eCommerce, Food Lion. “With the Food Lion to Go service, we provide our neighbors the option to shop through the channel they prefer, in-store or online, still ensuring they have access to the freshest groceries at affordable prices.”

Food Lion continues to expand this new service across the towns and cities it serves, highlighting its commitment to make grocery shopping easy, fresh and affordable. With the addition of these 25 stores, Food Lion To Go is now available at more than 650 stores across its 10-state footprint.

Where allowed by law, customers 21 and older can also purchase their beer and wine through To Go, making it an actual one-stop shopping experience.
