SALISBURY, N.C. — In honor of Veterans Day on Nov. 11, Food Lion, Harveys and Reid's stores will offer a 10% discount to active and retired military personnel to show their support and appreciation for those who currently are serving or have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, the retailers, which are part of Delhaize Group, reported.
To receive the discount, active military, reservists and veterans should request the discount at check-out along with their MVP card.
