“We invite customers to visit their local Food Lion, where they will experience firsthand the enhancements we have made in our stores,” said Cathy Green Burns, president of Food Lion in a press release.

In addition to the free groceries, the company said it planned to donate $50,000 in store brand food products to local charities, including $20,000 to Operation Homefront Hampton Roads, $10,000 to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, $10,000 to Feeding America Southwest Virginia and $10,000 to FeedMore.

Earlier this year Food Lion announced it would close two under-performing stories in Henrico County.
