5,000 more unemployment claims that’ll only show in revised numbers way after the fact... And many families who’ll be put under even more economic pressure. Anyone got any hope left that this change will end anytime soon?
And here's a PDF file with a list of Bloom and Bottom Dollar Food stores being converted to Food Lion stores.
Hooray for The Recovery!
When I lived in FL, I used to love to shop at Food Lion.
This is very sad news for the folks there.
not able to compete against wal mart.
Food Lion is headquartered in nearby Salisbury, NC, and I’ve not heard anything about their having difficulties as a whole. It would be big news. There’s a Food Lion in my small, outer suburban town that’s not two years old, that is the equal of any Harris-Teeter, and very popular.
There are still a lot of regular old country folks around here who were made millionaires by investing locally and putting their retirement in Food Lion and RJR stocks. Well, it wasn’t named Food Lion at the time. That came with the buyout by De Lion.
They were ugly and run down until they were converted just a few years ago to Bloom. Now they are converting them back to Food Lion.
We like going to the Bloom and make quite a few purchases there. I sure hope they do not go back to what the old Food Lions were like.
Two in my town are being closed. Both were new construction in just the last few years. Both also have competition right across the street. The one I probably go to the most is much older and has no nearby competition.
Not to worry. The unemployment number will go down, as scheduled.
Food Lion is a Belgian Company
It would seem the Euro shackles on American management may make the company uncompetitive.
Food lion closed and left up here years ago. The All American companies were eating their lunch.
The death will result in growth by competitors and l would think all will not be forever gone
