Food Lion giving away gift cards and 60% discounts in stores Tuesday
Food Lion is celebrating their 60th Anniversary with $10 gift card giveaways and 60% off discounts during the day on Tuesday, December 12.
According to their press release, on December 12, four lucky MVP shoppers at each Food Lion store will instantly win a 60 percent discount when they shop with their personal MVP card. The discount will be instantly deducted at checkout. Beginning at 1 p.m. and at the top of each subsequent hour, the first customer to correctly answer the trivia question announced in the store will win a $10 Food Lion gift card.
The company will also hold a time capsule ceremony, complete with mementos submitted by stores across its 10-state footprint, at its corporate headquarters in Salisbury, N.C., at 11 a.m.
Food Lion also partnered with its local communities to hold multiple events throughout the year in honor of its 60th anniversary. The company remodeled and restocked 60 food pantries for 60 years as part of The Great Pantry Makeover in 2017. Food Lion donated more than 2.5 million meals and 2,000 volunteer hours through this campaign, which serves as its largest annual associate volunteer initiative.
Additionally, in September, leaders and associates joined together to set a GUINNESS World Record for the Most Bagged Lunches Assembled in One Hour. All of the 10,320 lunches were donated to local schools and food banks in the Hot Springs, Va., market, where the event took place.
Finally, in October, the company held its inaugural 6K Lion's Run which started and ended at the site of Food Lion Store 1 in its hometown of Salisbury, N.C., raising 250,000 meals with all proceeds benefiting Rowan Helping Ministries in Salisbury, N.C., and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte, N.C.
