Cathy Green Burns, who rose from supermarket bagger to lead Food Lion, has been replaced.
Delhaize America Chief Executive Roland Smith announced the shakeup to local employees Thursday with Beth Newlands Campbell, former president of Hannaford Supermarkets, taking over as president of both Food Lion and Harveys.
Burns had led Food Lion, based in Salisbury, since February 2010. She had started as a bagger at a Hannaford store while in high school. She rose to vice president at Hannaford before joining Food Lion in 2002 after Food Lion bought the smaller chain of stores.
Burns was replaced as a part of a Delhaize America reorganization designed to “improve results across the organization,” Smith states in a company press release. He’s based at the Food Lion headquarters in Salisbury.
