About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Food Lion, a regular noticed something strange one morning. The automated announcement over the PA said, 'If you see a unicorn in aisle seven, please do not panic.' Curious customers flocked to aisle seven, but instead of a mythical creature, they found only a delivery driver pretending to be a unicorn with a pink wig and horn. The manager had hired him for an April Fool’s prank, much to everyone's delight.

2. At Food Lion, a delivery driver once found an unusual package in the back of his truck. Curious neighbors started whispering that it might be a secret shipment of free samples. Upon closer inspection, the package turned out to be nothing more than a giant box of cereal—one so big it looked like it could feed an entire neighborhood. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and joked, ‘Guess I’ll be eating breakfast for a week!’

3. At Food Lion, a delivery driver once found a mysterious note taped inside a box of cereal: ‘If you see this message, it means our swap worked.’ Curious, he checked the stockroom and discovered another box with a different note: ‘Now it’s your turn!’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘What the heck?’ He took both boxes home as a joke for his neighbors. The next day, everyone was standing in front of his fridge, staring at two identical cereals with notes that read: “Congratulations! You’ve been swapped!” Turns out, someone had accidentally switched labels during an especially busy shift.

4. At Food Lion, a delivery driver once found a mysterious note taped inside a box of donuts. It read: ‘If you see this, it means we’re out of jelly beans.’ The delivery driver chuckled and posted the note on social media with the caption, ‘Now I know why they were so eager to unload those donuts!’ Soon, other employees started leaving similar notes around the store: ‘Out of chocolate croissants,’ ‘No more bagels today,’ and even, ‘Sorry, ran out of friendly service.’ The note became a quirky tradition, reminding everyone that sometimes life is just as sweet when things are slightly out of stock.
