Competitively priced for the area and no service speedbumps experienced yet here. The Deets: This Publix is the one of the newest grocery stores in the Ocean Isle Beach area, and the one nearest to the island at this time. It's a very nice and clean store, as most Publix locations usually are, and spacious with plenty to offer. The layout is conducive to finding things you need in a fairly reasonable amount of time and not confusing to me. They offer the usual stations such as bakery, deli, etc. but they do not offer a seafood market (not that it is necessary as there are some around OIB). Their wine section is pretty extensive for a grocery store (see pic). I found the grocery prices to be comparatively more reasonable here for the most part, definitely something to be noted. I have not witnessed or experienced any service hiccups along any trips here. This Publix is a welcomed addition the OIB vicinity, and glad it offers some competition for the grocery business in the area.

The checkout lady was competent. She even thanked me for bringing my recycling bags, asked me how my visit was and invited me to come back to the store. The bagger was pleasant. He happily bagged my items and as I exited, I believe it was a manager, smiled and bade me farewell. Two thumbs up. This is a model class in grocery store customer service. I will be back.

Bottom line: This Food Lion in the Holden Beach area is a good grocery store resource. Clean, with…read morereasonable grocery prices for a beach area, good selection, and both staffed/self checkout options available. Very busy place as it is nearest to the beach and at a busy intersection, so the parking lot can be crowded also. The Deets: The nearest big chain grocery store in the Holden Beach area is this Food Lion, back on the mainland in the shopping center at the first stoplight after coming back over the bridge from the beach (same on as Walgreens). The parking lot is usually pretty packed as this store/shopping center is a pretty busy one. The grocery store itself is pretty clean and has a good layout, but again usually pretty busy with customers. The grocery prices are pretty acceptable for a beach area and of course their Food Lion MVP cards for special prices are useable here. There is a pretty good selection of all grocery items, no visible lacking areas noted so far. There is a hot food bar available if you want to use for a premade meal to take home. The beer cooler is towards the front to the left as you walk in, pretty handy in a beach area obviously. There are staffed checkout lines as well as self checkout kiosks, and the self checkout area line actually moves pretty fast as well staff comes quickly when needed/screen signals them. This beach area Food Lion gets the job done and I have to say it's not bad compared to most beach area grocery stores as well as a lot of Food Lion stores in general.

The store was clean and mirrored many of the Walmarts. I have visited over the year so it was easy to find items. The only issue that I had during my time at this Walmart supercenter was during checkout. A couple of the registers were reserved for something that was called for a spark member. I'm not quite sure what that meant, but I was sort of confused as to why we would be reserving registers for Spark Members that was not there when easily they could be opened to allow the whole line to flow quicker.

There were no vehicles waiting and only two in the bays, yet Kenny advised the wait could be up to two hours. I found him dismissive, condescending, and generally uninterested in helping. Since I was stuck waiting, I asked where I could get something to eat. Kenny directed me to the Dunkin' inside the store, which had no breakfast sandwiches, no donuts, and another employee whose curt "Nope" and "Yep" responses made it clear that basic questions were an inconvenience. While killing time shopping, I noticed a fully stocked shelf in the baby department visibly leaning and appearing ready to collapse. I immediately notified an employee working in the next aisle. His response was essentially a blank "And?"--no concern, no urgency, not even a thank-you for reporting a potential safety hazard. Finally, at 12:15 p.m., I received a text that my vehicle had been pulled in. At 12:22 p.m.--SEVEN MINUTES LATER--it was finished. Nearly 2 1/2 hours of waiting for a seven-minute repair. Unfortunately, Yvonne at checkout displayed much of the same dismissive attitude. Sherri and the tire technician who returned my keys were the notable exceptions--both were pleasant and professional. As a Walmart+ customer, I don't expect special treatment. I do expect courtesy, communication, and employees who actually care when a customer reports a safety concern. When the same dismissive attitude is encountered across multiple departments and multiple employees, it stops looking like one person having a bad day and starts looking like a management and customer-service culture problem. A seven-minute repair shouldn't consume nearly three hours of a customer's day, and basic courtesy shouldn't be this difficult to find.

Being from NY, just being able to have the convenience of finding both good wine and good beer in a grocery store is amazing enough, but this is the best grocery chain I think I've ever been to. The employees are super friendly, even complimenting me on my Smashing Pumpkins shirt and swapping concert experience stories :) They have a "snip your own" fresh herb garden, again, lots of local beer, cheeses, BBQ sauces, mustards, inhouse smoked/cured meats. They even have a little beer corner with taps so you can either fill a growler, sit and relax with a drink, or walk around with it while you shop. We even picked up fire works, just for fun

If you are looking to make big grocery store trips to get a big bunch of food or supplies for the week, you probably are going to head to the Lowes Foods right back over the bridge or the Food Lions near Sunset Beach or Shallotte. But for quick things, a few food items or convenience store things, beer, etc. then Sheffield's fits the bill. A huge walk in beer cooler, always nice especially when it is so hot outside! There is a small seafood shop in the back as well. Quick ice stop here is probably the main reason we see it so much.

In town to do some appliance shopping after Thanksgiving, I opted to stop in and pick up the few things I needed from the grocery. The store is conveniently located on the main drag through Shallotte, not too far from the intersection of Highway 17 and Business 17. The layout of the store is similar to the Holden Beach one, although it feels much larger and newer, with updated flooring and signage. The wine section is larger and more varied, with specials at all price points. I like that Food Lion carries the Udi's gluten free breads, including their baguette, which is pretty decent for GF bread. The trick is to know these breads are located in a freezer case on the way to the produce area, just past the deli section. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is a breeze.

They have some excellent up front associates who really present themselves well...thus making this particular store much better than other Food Lions in their chain. These quality people make shopping here a pleasure rather than a chore. The store is clean and always well stocked. Their meats are good, occasionally I have gotten some lunch meat from their deli that are tough and not quiet up to par. Their other meats are usually very good. Their vegetables are good and presented well. As a whole, for a small town grocery store, we are fortunate to have FOOD LION CORPORATION in Shallotte, NC.
