Food lion did a fantastic job of converting the store. I was in the area on business last week.

[Carolina Knight]

Did Food Lion #2240 retain the decor from BI-LO #5116?

[5ForksSC]

The decor is the same. I could see this and Surfside being on a short list of store renewals. After season

[Carolina Knight]

If Food Lion did not invest the time and money to improve BI-LO #5116 for Food Lion #2240, it will have a difficult time keeping Food Lion #2240 open.
