Where Does Food Lion Operate?

Food Lion has 1,171 grocery stores across 10 states in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. The chain is anchored in the Carolinas, with North Carolina and Virginia together accounting for over 70% of all locations.

Food Lion's top five states are North Carolina (531 locations, 45.3%), Virginia (295, 25.2%), South Carolina (176, 15.0%), Maryland (53, 4.5%), and Georgia (47, 4.0%). Together these five states account for approximately 94% of all Food Lion stores in the United States.

Beyond its Carolinas-Virginia core, Food Lion also has a presence in Tennessee (27 locations), Delaware (20), West Virginia (15), Kentucky (4), and Pennsylvania (3). The chain is notably absent from Florida — a contrast to regional competitors Publix and Winn-Dixie — reflecting Food Lion's strategic focus on the Carolinas, the Virginia coastal corridor, and the broader Mid-Atlantic market.
