Food Lion to offer discount for military members, families on Memorial Day

SALISBURY, N.C. — Food Lion will be celebrating Memorial Day this year by offering active and retired military personnel and their family a 10% discount, the retailer announced Friday. The discount will be available at all stores on May 29 for those who present their personal MVP card and military ID at checkout.

“Food Lion is proud to show our gratitude to the men and women who serve our country and protect our freedoms every day,” said Meg Ham, president of Food Lion. “It is an honor to thank them for their service to our country by providing this MVP discount to military and their families.”

The Memorial Day discount is part of Food Lion’s larger efforts to support military associates and customers, which it said include offering employee benefits to military associates, adopting families of colleagues called into active duty and helping feed veterans through its Food Lion Feeds hunger-relief efforts.
