Nameplates

Food Lion

Food Lion is the namesake concept for Food Lion LLC and is centered around building a neighborly and convenient supermarket for its customers featuring "extra low prices" on name brand and private label merchandise. Sales are promoted through the use of an MVP Loyalty Card, which customers can freely obtain. While at one time Food Lion's concept generally lacked the 'bells and whistles' of its competitors, the company has been adding fresh seafood, deli and bakery departments, fine cheese, pharmacies, and butcher departments over the last few years.

Bloom

Bloom is Food Lion LLC's upscale grocery model that opened on May 26, 2004. The concept is based on the idea of using a slightly unconventional layout to maximize shopper convenience. When the stores first debuted, Bloom was dubbed with the phrase "A Food Lion Market". However, upon further market-research, the company decided to remove the phrase and distance itself from the Food Lion image altogether. The current service-mark was replaced with the slogan "A Different Kind of Grocery Store". To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

Bottom Dollar Food

Bottom Dollar Food is Food Lion's discount grocery model that focuses on offering a limited-selection of both national brands and private label products at low prices in an "upbeat" shopping environment. These stores have no bakeries or delis and more items are prepackaged. Customers buy the bags used to sack their own groceries at Bottom Dollar Food. Stores also use alternative display and stocking techniques such as cut cases on shelves, using pallets and dump bins to reduce costs.

Harveys

Harveys stores are mainly located in rural markets within the Deep South with a focus towards quality foods (primarily in meat and produce) and service. Since being acquired by Delhaize in 2003, over a dozen Food Lion stores in rural areas have been converted to Harveys. Unlike Bloom and Bottom Dollar however, which are merely extensions of the Food Lion brand, Harveys appears to operate separately within the Food Lion LLC structure and is seen more as a subsidiary.

Reid's

Reid's is a small chain of stores located in various rural South Carolina communities, specifically Barnwell, Orangeburg, Langley, New Ellenton, Batesburg, Walterboro, St. George, and Saluda. These stores were all formerly branded as Food Lion stores and continue to carry Food Lion branded goods and use the Food Lion infrastructure. The common theme to these stores appears to be that they are all older stores which Food Lion has apparently determined are located in markets small enough to make enlarging or opening a new store unprofitable, but which with a different brand name to differentiate them from Food Lion so that the prices and selection can be different from a standard Food Lion store can still be profitably run without remodeling. One exception to this standard is the Langley location, which was converted from a new Food Lion store which had been open for only a few months.

However, you can view the Reid's weekly ad on the website of The People-Sentinel, a newspaper serving Barnwell County, South Carolina. Reid's also runs sale advertisements on several radio stations in South Carolina, featuring the chain's namesake Reid Boylston reading the week's specials over the phone and closing with an exuberant recitation of the chain's slogan, "We can save you money!"

History

Food Lion was founded in 1957 in Salisbury, North Carolina as Food Town. The Food Lion name was adopted when it began expanding into areas where the name Food Town was already being used by other chains. Current logo of Foodtown Foodtown is a northeastern United States supermarket cooperative. ...

Market Renewals

Since 2003, Food Lion has been active in "market renewals" in which every year Food Lion picks certain cities in their operating area where they remodel stores and update the product offerings. In 2006, Food Lion advanced their market renewals program by using in-depth demographic and geographic data to figure out whether certain stores should be branded as Food Lion, Bloom, or Bottom Dollar. Should the data support that an already existing Food Lion is adequate for a certain community, the location will simply be remodeled. Should the data support otherwise, the Food Lion store will be remodeled and re-branded as either Bloom or Bottom Dollar.^[6]

Expansion and Retreat

Throughout the 1980s Food Lion expanded throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States, succeeding where many supermarket stalwarts weren't. When names such as A&P, Grand Union, Colonial/Big Star and Piggly Wiggly disappeared from Southern communities, Food Lion remained. The company continued its expansion throughout the late 1980s, opening hundreds of stores in existing markets such as the Carolinas and Virginia, and entering new states and markets such as Georgia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Maryland.

In the early 1990s, the stores appeared in more new markets such as Delaware and southern Pennsylvania; Orlando, Florida; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma; Louisiana; the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Houston. During this time, the chain was the fastest-growing supermarket company in the US as it opened over 100 new stores each year. In November 1992, a critical PrimeTime Live report which showed unsanitary handling of meat and seafood hurt the chain as it attempted to enter new markets in the Northeast and Southwest.

According to some industry sources, the new stores in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma were already below sales projections. The small, lackluster Food Lion stores were beginning to compete with national retail leaders, such as Albertsons, Kroger, Tom Thumb and Jewel-Osco--all of which were already well-respected in the Southwest,and who operated larger stores with more features. But the effects of the devastating ABC report could not be denied and sales and revenue plummeted. In the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, there were widespread reports of stores sending half of their staff home early due to lack of business; and other stores with "virtually zero meat sales." In the fiscal quarter that included the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays of 1992, Delhaize America reported companywide same-store sales declines of 9.5%. As a result, the Lion was forced to greatly scale back its expansion plans in Texas and Oklahoma, as well as delay its planned entry into new markets in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois.

In 1993 Food Lion agreed to pay $16.2 million to settle claims it violated federal laws regulating unpaid overtime, minimum wage and child labor, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In the agreement, which at the time was the largest settlement ever from a private employer accused of violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the grocery chain agreed to ensure that all employees will be well informed about their rights. Additionally, the Labor Department said Food Lion's top management has provided assurances that no retaliatory action will be taken against employees who may file complaints about unpaid overtime or other potential FLSA violations.^[7] Year 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar). ...

On January 7, 1994, Delhaize announced the first major round of store closings in what would become a yearly event.

Throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, the company cancelled leases for new stores and closed scores of its newly-built outlets in recently established markets such as Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Oklahoma City, and by the close of the 1990s, it had had enough. Citing double-digit same-store sales declines for the quarter ending in September 1997, Delhaize announced that it was cancelling its Midwest expansion, exiting all markets in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, and closing its 6 year-old distribution center in Roanoke, Texas. A bruised and battered Food Lion was forced to recede back to the East Coast, where it faced increasing competition from competitors with larger stores, better customer-service and more variety and amenities; these included regional winners such as Harris Teeter and Publix, newcomers like specialty-retailer Whole Foods Market, the ever-expanding national chains such as Kroger, and the omnipresent Wal-Mart Supercenters.

Primetime Live

In the 1990s, Food Lion gained a degree of notoriety when it was the subject of an ABC News investigation. ABC had received a tip about unsanitary practices at Food Lion. Two ABC reporters had posed as Food Lion employees, and witnessed the unsanitary practices at Food Lion. Much of what they had seen was videotaped with cameras hidden in wigs that they were wearing. The footage was then featured in a segment on the news magazine Primetime Live, in which Food Lion's unsanitary practices, which included bleaching discolored, expired pork with clorox and repackaging expired meats with new expiration dates, were exposed.

Primetimes logo Primetime is a general-interest American news magazine show which debuted on ABC in 1989 with co-hosts Sam Donaldson and Diane Sawyer and originally had the title Primetime Live. ...

The company responded by suing ABC for fraud, claiming that the ABC employees misrepresented themselves; for trespassing, because the ABC employees came on to Food Lion property without permission; and for breach of loyalty, the ABC employees videotaped non-public areas of the store and revealed internal company information. In law, trespass can be: the criminal act of going into somebody else’s land or property without permission; it is also a civil law tort that may be a valid cause of action to seek judicial relief and possibly damages through a lawsuit. ...

Food Lion was awarded USD$5.5 million by a jury in 1997. The award was later reduced by a judge to $316,000. The verdict was then overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia. According to the court, even though ABC was wrong to do what they had done, they felt that Food Lion was unable to show that they had been directly injured by ABC's actions. USD redirects here. ...

Food Lion, during the trial, began a vicious and borderline illegal public relations campaign against ABC News to attempt to influence the court and force a ruling in its favor.

An indirect result was that Food Lion ended up exiting the Houston, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex markets, which it had recently entered. The Dallas/Fort Worth market is highly competitive, and the stores were already being criticized for being too small and lacking the amenities desired by the local shoppers—for example, Food Lion did not include pharmacies in its stores.
