A clean store good prices and employees are semi friendly! I usually come here to get money orders using my debit card which is really convenience since all other shops require cash only to purchase money orders!

Very clean atmosphere. The associates are well mannered and very respectful. Never had a complaint. Will recommend this place to other people. Sales are great and prices are average.

First it was food lion, then it was bloom, and now it’s back to food lion. I only go here when I need 1 or 2 things, because it’s the closest to where I live. Ever since it returned to food lion, the selection of products has dramatically decreased. They typically have nice produce, but I would NOT trust ANY of their meat. The prepackaged stuff from perdue or nature valley is fine, but everything else looks a little off.

Unilocal review for food lion It’s not bad… It’s a pretty Average grocery store. I’m actually trying to write a complimentary review for a location, being that I just wrote a negative review for the Columbia Foot Locker. So, I’ve never had a problem at the Food Lion. Parking is always good, and service is always attentive. I like the sales that they have and prefer this store to any other that in the immediate area. It’s very convenient and never lines, although if there are, they also have the self service area which is pretty easy to use. The produce is my fav, and always looks fresh. I don’t have to pick through a bunch of stuff to find things and the lighting is good. To sum up all of my experiences there: Easy in, easy to shop, easy out. Exactly what a grocery store should be… in my opinion: o)

I am seriously getting concerned for Bloom. Their quality of goods has PLUMMETED since the Harris Teeter opened up a mile away. Bloom used to stock all sorts of specialty items(think dairy-free«sour cream» and«cream cheese» and gourmet salts for cooking). Now… now they barely carry the basics. Customers have noticed, too. Hours have been slashed, clientele is dwindling. It’s a pity, really, since Bloom is within walking distance. If they carried the things I need, I would never go to Harris Teeter. Alas, they no longer do. I give them a year to go out of business.

Clean. Neat. Trendy. I like it. Good pre-made foods. Good selection of meats and great store brand zero cola. They have a Redbox too.

The rundown: Not as good as the Harris Teeter, not as bad as the Weis. I’ve found this supermarket to be the intermediary of the other two supermarkets that are nearby. The supermarket is generally clean, but it can be a tad more expensive for some of the items. Also, there isn’t a salad bar. I know this isn’t a big deal for a lot of people, but seriously, you have an olive bar and no salad bar? Just how classy are you? I’m not sure how much I trust the fish from the monger here, because it kinda stinks back there. But in terms of the essentials, and some decent deals on chicken and beef, it is an ok place to go. Actually, according to my rating, it’s an A-OK place to go. Just pick and choose well here, and make sure you check the expiration dates on some perishables like milk and bread.

A little pricier than other grocery stores in the area(but cheap, compared to Harris Teeter) but EXTREMELY friendly. Good bakery, nice takeout department, pharmacy, and more. Very handicapped-accessible. This was the first place I ever saw with the hand-held scanners that enable you to ring up your purchases while shopping. Edited to add: the service is bad in the evenings with inexperienced clerks and a manager who’d rather yak on the phone than help her panicking newbie clerk. After 20 minutes waiting for help, I just left the food on the belt and walked out. It would have helped if I had ever heard from the day management.

For a surprisingly big store they have a very small parking lot. However, the store was not jam-packed on a Sunday afternoon like my local Giant is. This was my first time in a bloom. I don’t have one nearby and when the movie I planned to see was sold out I ended up here. It’s bright and cheery. The cashier was friendly and offered me yet another savings card(their Breeze card) to add to my keychain collection. Why can’t a sale just be a sale for everyone? I’m not sure I liked the layout of the store. It reminded me more of a CVS with convenience items on shelves perpendicular to the grocery aisles. I like my dog food with the people food, after all my dog is part of the family, not a car accessory. I’d shop here if I lived nearby. They carry brands I can’t find in other chains. I’m sure I could get used to the layout. After all, no matter what anyone says, old dogs can learn new tricks.
