This recent remodel/makeover of the Dobson store is awful. I absolutely hate it. I've lived in Dobson for over 30 years. I can remember when Food Lion first opened. We had the nicest store in a 50 mile radius. The produce section alone was top tier. I remember one of the employees there told me that their produce department had won awards for being the best in the state. Now it's typical low quality selections that can be found anywhere. Not much to choose from and every type of lettuce on the shelf was wilted. I absolutely hate that they had to change things. We went from being a bougie grocery store to a typical chain look alike. And that just makes me sad. read more

Back in the day before Food Lion opened, there was two family owned grocery stores in town, one of which my family went to - Bowman's I think the store name was. When Food Lion opened, they had daily incentives like free boxes of cereal, free bottles of soda, free loaves of bread this went on for a little more than a week or so. When they got to the free bottles of ketchup, Bowman's had closed their doors for good. The free give-a-ways stopped the next day and all store prices went up over the next month. It was my first lesson in predatory retail practices. read more

Since I've moved to Dobson, N.C., I've been doing all my food shopping at Food Lion. Everything there is clean & fresh, and the employees are very friendly and helpful when looking for certain items. Being disabled, they also help put my items on the counter for me. I am a very satisfied customer and happy to know there is a store near me that I can find everything at one location. 5 Stars!! read more
