SALISBURY, NC – As more customers order groceries online, Food Lion is making it easier for its neighbors in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia to get fresh and affordable groceries delivered to their homes. Customers in the additional delivery zip codes can use the Food Lion To Go website or the Food Lion To Go app to confirm availability and place orders. The delivery fee will be waived for the first order of $35 or more placed on the Food Lion To Go website or app. This expansion of home delivery services complements home delivery services launched on May 2 in seven other states across Food Lion’s footprint.
With the click of a button, Food Lion Home Delivery, powered by Instacart, allows customers to experience the same low prices and fresh food items without having to leave their homes. The online service allows customers to place an order and have their groceries delivered right to their front door.
Food Lion continues to expand this service across the towns and cities it serves, highlighting its commitment to making grocery shopping easy, fresh and affordable. With the availability of this service at these stores, the omnichannel retailer now offers Food Lion to Go Pickup or Home Delivery in more than 90% of its 10-state operating area, demonstrating its commitment to customer preference and convenience.
“Food Lion To Go’s Home Delivery can be especially beneficial for our customers,” said Evan Harding, Director of Digital and eCommerce, Food Lion. “With home delivery, we make grocery shopping easy and convenient, allowing our customers to enjoy more time outdoors and with their families, enjoying picnics, barbecues and other summer activities.”
Additionally, by linking their personal Food Lion MVP savings loyalty card to their account, Food Lion customers can use digital coupons and redeem their “Shop & Earn” MVP rewards program savings. Customers can also view their accumulated Shop & Earn rewards on their checkout screen and see which clipped digital coupons will be applied to their order. This is in addition to their MVP discounts, in-store promotions and weekly savings specials.
How Instacart Works
Customers can visit Food Lion Home Delivery or open the Instacart mobile app on their iPhone or Android device. They enter their zip code and select their local Food Lion store, add items to a virtual cart, choose a delivery window (within one hour, within two hours, or some scheduled time in the future) and check out. A shopper accepts the order on his/her smartphone, uses the Instacart shopper app to guide them through shopping, and then delivers the order to the customer in the designated delivery timeframe.
