Food Lion buys three Farm Fresh stores in greater Hampton Roads

Published March 15, 2018 by Paula C. Squires

Food Lion, based in Salisbury, N.C., said Thursday that it has made a deal to purchase three Farm Fresh stores in the greater Hampton Roads region from Supervalu. The stores are located at 1615 General Booth Blvd. in Virginia Beach, 608 Mercury Blvd. in Hampton and 683 South Hughes Blvd. in Elizabeth City, N.C.

Food Lion is among several buyers as Supervalu Inc. seeks to divest its Farm Fresh stores. Founded in 1957, Farm Fresh has served Virginia and North Carolina for 60 years and employs 3,300 workers.
