This food Lion is the best run one Ive ever been to. Love it here! I used to live a cross the street and they always have the best produce section in area. The flowers πŸ’ sold here are amazing. Moved to Franklinton and still drive to this store. Manager deserves promotion she runs a great store and is always very attentive.

This Wake Forest area Food Lion is a virtually new, two or three year old modern facility. It is very convenient, has very easy access, and is a full-service grocery store. As of 2021, they appear to be actively practicing COVID-19 protocols. There is comfortable space in the isles, making cart maneuvers while shopping a more pleasant experience. The store always seems to be stocked with variety and is kept very clean. Payment is easy, with adequate staff to expedite checkout, whether you have a full cart or just a few items. Parking is easy and plentiful. There is handicapped access in the parking area and inside, and the store appears to be ADA compliant. This is a well-run Food Lion where Im happy to be doing business.

This food lion has gone downhill. The produce goes bad really fast. Selection has gotten smaller. The staff seems to turn over way faster than it used to. I go to the new food lion on 98 now.

Store was clean & well stocked, but I left after seeing multiple people not wearing a mask as mandated by our Governor & President. A number of employees saw them and didn’t say anything. We left without purchasing for our own safety.

Although it is a newer store and usually clean the employees are very rude. There must have been 15 to 20 cashier standing around talking upfront at check out. They seem bothered that I wanted to pay for my food. I talked to the cashier was completely ignored. Also, there is a female manager that is usually there when I go in who is very rude. She is miserable with a bad personality and horrible customer service.

Stopped in for a baby shower cake and Melanie did an amazing job decorating it. She knew exactly what we wanted and I didn’t even have to tell her. I highly recommend coming here for your next cake.

This Food Lion in Wake Forest NC on Crenshaw Corners Dr is a good one but they need to do better. I called asking if they have KFC gift cards. They said β€œ100% we have them” but when I arrived at the store they did not have them and they said they’ve never carried KFC gift cards. I’m too busy to waste time like this!

Just spent almost an hour grocery shopping in this store only to get to register & find out their credit card machine is down. They will take debt ran as a credit card & cash only. What kind of store doesnt bother to post a sign warning customers ? This has been my go to store since I moved here back in May. But last time coming here. They even told me after trying to run my credit card that their system is messed up. FYI its an Amex card so I know it wasnt being denied. Worse customer service ever. Guess Ill be looking for a new grocery store.

This is the best Food Lion in the Wake Forest area. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The store is very clean and always well stocked. Between the bakery items and the produce area, you would be hard pressed to find any better at some of the upper end grocery shops. I use the Insta-cart a lot and prefer to use the pick-up option. I use this because then the actual store staff do the shopping rather than a contractor. They know their store and rarely have items not found or replaced. You will not be disappointed in this shop!

So, I have to use those thick gloves to was dishes because the soap and disenfectant cause a reaction on my hands. I realized this evening that my only pair of gloves had a hole. So I got into my car, drove to Food Lion only to realize they are out. I can understand latex, but those thick dish washing ones... Come on, I know most people have an automatic dishwasher...I asked the manager if he might know of somewhere else they may be located. He had me follow him and wait while he went into the back of the store. He brought me 3 pairs of the thick yellow ones and told me I could have them. I was so touched! The people at this Food Lion have always been so nice and accommodating but this sealed the deal!So thank you sir!

This was one of 3 prototype Food Lions built last year... the chicken wing bar, whole or sliced pizzas, the fresh new look of the entire store absolutely invites customers to a whole new level of shopping experiences... if you dont have a favorite grocery store to shop, try the new Food Lion in Wake Forest... you cant go wrong...

Its a new Food Lion close to Falls Lake RV campground were we are staying. I was surprised when I found Fresh Pet food in their isles. Deli and fresh meat, and produces were stocked well. Just unhappy they dont carry Boars Head cold cuts. But I still give them 5 stars anyway.

If youre having an ice cream social and eat bananas for banana splits, these little ones are perfect. Food Lion has them enough availability. Single serving size makes it really easy to peel without cutting.

Review β„–55

Yes it very clean and well lit, however there are NO self check out lanes. It’s 2019 who doesn’t offer self check out in a heavily populated area?? It’s miserable when you have two items and have to stand in a long line. The ONE time I saw a mobile check out area the associate said she was out of paper and I could check out. I’ve only seen the mobile check out once. This store also has a very limited selection of items compared to near by stores and is more expensive. The old location was much better because it was near restaurants and gas stations. This one just sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have enjoyed the new food lion since it opened. They have a very nice store, with a good selection and good produce. The majority of the staff are wonderful, but I have now had two experiences that have bothered me. A couple months back a young male clerk in check out had the most awkward and insulting conversation with me and today, after I had been waiting in line behind several individuals, a woman that appeared to be a manager came over while I was unloading my cart at check out and began quickly throwing my my groceries on the belt. I am very particular about how my groceries are bagged and yet, I was unloading at a significantly faster pace than the cashier was scanning. At this point I dont believe there was anyone behind me. I was so caught off guard I couldnt think of anything nice to say to have her stop. Then she started throwing bags in the cart and smashing fruit and bread before I finally told her I had it from there. There is a difference in good customer service isnt delivered hurriedly and haphazardly.

Newer Food Lion, that replaced the one on Capital. Its not as conveniently located for me as the previous one (which had restaurants, a gas station and was close to the pharmacy we use), but its new, which is nice. Its smaller than previous Food Lions as well and I noticed that theyve really cut down on variety of choice within each category. Sign of the times, I suppose. 20 years ago you could buy chicken scratch at the old FL; it was a good mix of rural and suburban offerings. The produce section is completely enclosed and chilled (bring a sweater if you plan to linger), half the stuff that they mist they shouldnt be misting, though. If I buy loose leaf lettuce there, its a whole process drying it when I get it home so it doesnt rot. They no longer do any real baking in their stores, so that area is smaller. The staff are usually friendly and pleasant, and very helpful. The prepared sandwiches and prepared meal offerings are generally good and we like trying new ones every once in a while.Deli department is kind of useless - dozens of different hams and turkeys but nothing else? I asked for corned beef and was told they didnt carry it. (???)My biggest complaint is with the dairy case. Its disgusting. Open the door and all you smell is old, not-quite-spoiled milk. Theres drips and spills all over the place and half the containers appear to be leaking. I suggested (a few times) that they at least put up a paper towel holder and paper towels; I generally get a disinterested response to that. I asked a stocker once why it was always like that - he blamed the vendor. And theres nothing FL can do about that? I appreciate the cheap milk but Walmart has cheap milk as well and their cases are always clean. In fact, I dont remember ever seeing such a mess in a dairy case anywhere else. Is it only this Food Lion? The staff does not seem interested in addressing this.One thing I noticed is there is no self-check-out - I think thats a good thing.The parking lot is small, and awkward and for some reason, only two cart returns are there. If its cold or hot or raining or snowing (pretty much any and all weather situations in our area) - no one returns their carts.
