A supermarket chain is expanding its footprint in North Charleston.
Food Lion will join Planet Fitness as a co-anchor tenant at Festival Centre, located at 5101 Ashley Phosphate Rd., according to The Post and Courier.
Woodlock Capital, the property owner of Festival Centre, expressed excitement about Food Lion joining the shopping center, which has gone without a supermarket anchor since Piggly Wiggly left in 2013.
Known for its affordable prices and convenient locations, Food Lion offers more than 28,000 products per store, including more than 7,000 private-label items, with a focus on fresh groceries and everyday essentials, the website reads.
Food Lion opened its first store in Salisbury, N.C., in 1957 and has since grown to more than 1,000 locations across 10 states in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
The upcoming store will join the grocer’s existing North Charleston locations along Remount Road, Leeds Avenue, Forest Hills and another stretch of Ashley Phosphate Road.
Food Lion plans to open in October 2027. Visit the website and follow along on Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates.
