Was here yesterday with a friend Store was big, nice, and clean Staff was very friendly and helpful This store has everything you need I was short a few dollars at checkout but a very nice worker scanned her card and let me free read more

Stopped in early for a quick shop and found this to be a super nice supermarket. The aisles were clean, the lights were bright and the shelves were well stocked. I managed to find the few bits I needed easily as the overhead signage was easy to read and accurate. I didn't interact with too many staff, but the ones I did were friendly and offered to help. I skipped produce and meats today, sticking with grocery items. read more

See all

Store is clean Seafood section is amazing Love the wild caught selection Glad to be close to the store Service is good too read more

We recently moved to the area, and this Food Lion has become our favorite. The produce is extensive and well managed. The store is clean and the aisles are well designed. Items are easy to find and the employees are quick to offer assistance if needed. It matches its competitors in freshness and selections, while edging them out in price. My spouse is disabled and they can shop independently at this Food Lion as they offer quick and friendly assistance. It makes a big difference to us, and others I would imagine. read more

This store is ok. The prices are pretty good and the produce is excellent. It is obvious that the employees are not happy. The cashiers grunt at you when you check out. I had the same experience as another customer when I was told to bag my groceries myself, when I brought my own bags. Happy staff=happy customers! read more

Staff is rude and unwilling to help. As I asked for help the you lady rolled her eyes. Understanding how overworked and under appreciated a lot of workers are, I apologized and thanked her for her help. She mumbled something under her breath as she walked off. I was really surprised. read more

New grocery store on Park Road in a convenient location! It's clean and open. The staff are very friendly! Their carts have a store map on them...pretty nice if you aren't familiar with the store. The produce looks good. The seafood selection is small, but fresh. When you go to shop, don't forget to bring your own bag! read more

Food Lion - cars parked in front of the store - Grocery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I have a love/hate relationship with Bloom but the loves outweigh the hates..... Love *They put maps on the carts! *Cheap subs every day ($2.99 I believe and you can get a wrap instead of a bun) *Very clean *They offer many natural, gluten free, vegan stuff. I'm not necessarily labeled as any of those but I still think that's cool *Holy produce selection batman! *You can get drunk at Ed's then stumble over to Bloom and drunk shop (or am I the only one who does this??) *The big huge cart in the front of the parking lot *Bloom. It just sounds like a happy place Hate *They seem to have many items out of stock, no matter what time of day I go *The cashiers seemed to be a little too self absorbed, pair that up with lack of personality and um, no. *The parking scheme. I don't know why it bothers me but it does *Some sketchers frequent there but then again, they contribute to good people watching so this could also be a love. I go to Bloom but I still miss Bi-Lo. read more

I love how clean this place is and how easy it is too find things. Everyone seemed really friendly here and they even have a redbox. Maan the bakery here smells really good, even the produce area smelled good an that I've found is rare these days. I think even the cereal aisle smelled really good too. wow super clean windows too read more

We came here for the first time today as we are moving to the neighborhood and wanted to see the closest grocery store was like. I was surprised at how new the store was. The only time I have ever been to a Food Lion I was not that impressed, but this definitely made up for it. When we walked in we were looking for a customer service counter so we could pick up a loyalty card. We asked a store clerk and she pointed us to the kiosk where you sign up for the card. It was really easy to use and it prints out a temporary card and coupons when you are finished. I really liked this! I was happy to see that they had self-check out. This is super convenient. We bought a few items here and I was surprised that the prices were a little high. In my opinion. Produce was super high here. 1 carton of strawberries for $5.79... woah! And not even the organic ones! As it was a new store for us, we didn't know where things were located so we had to ask some of the store workers a few times where items were located. They were very nice and helpful. There is a small parking lot shared by some of the local businesses, we didn't have trouble finding a spot, but could see it being an issue if all the shops were open and it was a busy day. All in all, if I were in a pinch I'd go here and feel safe, however I'll probably stick with my preferred grocery store. read more

A great improvement over the Bi-Lo that used to be here. The meat section is impressive, possibly better than Harris Teeter. And I got the most amazing (seeded) giant grapes, a kind I look for every spring and haven't had in a while. They even have a gluten free section with a variety of cool snacks and frozen foods. The layout of the store makes more sense than a lot of places and it keeps bringing me back. Not to mention the steaks, produce and sexy voice of the automatic check out machine. I think she was in Bladerunner. read more

This is an updated Food Lion store. The produce area stands out as it is in a separate room and very clean, organized, and seemingly fresh. I picked up a few bagged salads here on Saturday night and I was impressed with the selection available. Typically bagged salads may have s good bit of brown lettuce, but that was not the case here. I've awarded 3 stars, as when I went in they had just 1 checkout aisle open and MANY customers were in line. This is frustrating when you're running in for just a few things and then find yourself behind a line of multiple carts filled to the brim. The other reason for the 3 stars is the parking lot. It seems to always be FULL even when the store isn't busy! The parking lot is small and is shared with multiple restaurants, so I find I often have to search for a parking spot and then still end up a long way from the entrance and cart return. read more

I have been gretzing and moaning about grocery stores since I moved to Charlotte. The field is pretty much dominated by Harris Teeter (yes, I am aware of why that is) and while I do appreciate the Teets, I am grocery-spoiled and like to be able to shop around. Sure there is Bi-Lo and Food Lion, but I swore off buying non-processed food at the latter when I lived next to one in college and the only information I have on the former is that my coworker got mugged there. Enter Bloom. Their produce section was considerably larger and more rationally priced than my HT (which is not the best of its brand but is a mile from my house). Their store brand items cover more than just the basics and are delicious (I highly recommend the Hot Fire Roasted Salsa!). There was a wide selection of every item the impending taco night required and the 93% lean ground beef was fresh AND on sale. Their beer selection is nothing to scoff at, covering what my HT does and then some. And guys, holy cats, guys...they had a whole section of sour cream! Not just one brand in one size...this alone is enough to ensure I will be back. Is Bloom the best grocery store I have ever been in. No. Methinks Wegmans will forever hold that title, but you will definitely see me and my glossy new Breeze Card around those parts again. read more

The remodel made a world of difference as the layout looks better and the remodel must have spurred on some new hires.

Bloom you are my girl and baby, daddy loves you! Off of Park road, you will find me buying my groceries on Sunday afternoon cause Bloom is my girl now. It is amazing the the child of Food Lion could produce such a hot offspring but girl you know it is true....cue the Milli Vanilli....cause Girl you know it is true! The produce section is fair....but I am really picky about produce. The meat section is small but has all the basic covered. The prices are pretty good and compared to the HT smoking! The beer section is very uber cool. You can make your own 6-Pack for $8.99 out of hundreds of beers to chose from. So you won't get stuck with that lame sick pack from gut hell. The staff here is friendly, the parking is convenient and of course the shoppers are hot which doesn't hurt when you are new kid in town. Hey, grocery stores are the new pick up spots in the 21 century! Everyone has to eat and nothing is sexier than a momma that knows how to cook. So what are you waiting for? Get your cart over to Bloom today! read more

I was looking forward to Bloom coming to inner Charlotte and was hoping it would be with the self-scanning guns, because guns are cool (heh heh). But they clearly phased that out and have plenty of checkout lines and plenty more than they need because they are never busy when I go there. Anyway when I brought my husband, he said I can't figure out if this is an organic grocer or a place where really poor people shop. Eh? They don't have the same ol same ol layout which is nice. The aisles are wide and well organized. They have a nice meat/deli section. They even have a gluten free section!! However, despite the nice looking produce section, it lacks the selection and especially organic selection that overpriced Harris Teeter has. It's sad when I have to go to East Blvd HT for more organic (even bananas!). Why can there not be a one stop shop in this town??? Anyway they do have a tremendously heavily stocked selection, and many affordable brands (hence the poor comment and maybe some holdovers from Bi-Lo days). Their cheese selection isn't great, but they have wider selection in other categories. I really want this to be my store, but without the organic fruit/veg selection, no can do amigo. Dear Bloom, Please improve so I don't have to drive all the way to Southpark and spend 2X what I want to!! I'd be most grateful, XOXO Jules. read more

Quick, Convenient, and Reliable. What else can you you say? This Food Lion is located at a convenient spot at the end of Tremont Road where Park Road starts commercial. It's great for locals to the Park Rd/SouthEnd/Dilworth area and stock all the major stuff. It isn't overly huge and maintains to have reasonable traffic so it's not long lines but I never really leave there wishing they had something else. Many grocery stores get too luxurious and compromise selection. This isn't the case. read more

First, I am sad. After finding Bloom I read an article that says in a few months they are going to become Food Lion...womp womp. But, until then it will be my go to Grocery store! Since moving here I've tried Harris Teeter (ok, but expensive for some stuff), Bi-Lo - ghetto, Food Lion - suspect, and I think that's it! I came upon Bloom one day and was so happy! I grew up in Upstate NY where Hannaford rules, turns out they own bloom and their store brand is Hannaford, it's like i'm home again! The store is set up well and the meat selection is the best I've seen since coming to Charlotte. Will definitely be going there until it makes the change to Food Lion! read more

My husband and I love this grocery store. We live in the Freedom Park neighborhood and at last count have about 12 grocery stores within a 4 mile radius. We have found that we can zip in and out of the Food Dog (as we call it) in a fraction of the time it takes for the Teeter or other options. Clean and neat. Selection may not be comparable to Teeter, but we have had great friendly service, and do most of our everyday shopping here. See lots of neighbors here. Give it a try! read more

Ugh. So Bloom is owned by Food Lion--except Bloom is the non-ghetto version that was meant to compete with Harris Teeter. The problem is that some brainiac at the Food Lion corporate office decided that Bloom was no longer to be. Thus--all Blooms are now Food Lions. This location has been undergoing the ghettoization to turn it from a pleasant market-style layout to a straight forward aisle by aisle grocery store. It's almost like they've strategically placed dirt and goop to give it that Food Lion feel. I'll be shopping at the Harris Teeter up the road from now on. Sad, because Bloom was such a great palce. read more

This is a very clean and well run Food Lion. My past experiences with other Food Lions have not been so good. When shopping in Dilworth, this Food Lion provides a far superior experience over the disorganized and overpriced Harris Teeter on East Boulevard. Also, this Food Lion takes Apple Pay, which makes getting in an out at the self serve lanes even faster. That's the best part about this Food Lion, you can get your items quickly and can get out quickly. Their deli meat truly sucks though; I wouldn't even give it to my cat (actually I bought it for my cat, but threw it in the trash). I've never seen a turkey slice turn to mush in your hands before, but their nasty turkey did. They used to have good Boar's Head meat, but replaced it with their own awful Food Lion meat. read more

Great location. Good setup. I prefer this location over the one on South Blvd. Minus one star because it seems like at least one of the self checkout kiosk never work each time I go. But thankfully, this place never gets too crowded. read more

I used to work for Food Lion corporate, years ago. So I know the company's expectations of customer service. And no. This is not it. I was there tonight, and was rung up by a cashier named Brittany. She ignored my reusable bags and bagged in plastic anyway. When I said something, she dumped my groceries back on the counter and told me I could bag them myself. Unacceptable. She screwed it up. It is not my job to redo it for her. And then when I had her get a manager, she argued about my comments right in front of me. So unprofessional. read more

I'm a member of Harris Teeter management, that being said I've been programmed to look down upon all other Charlotte based grocery stores. However with a few different Food Lion locations, I can make an exception. This location while not the best spot, is pretty alright in quality. The employees first of all are pretty miserable, Having walked by the Store Manager and assistant on several occasions without my existence being acknowledged, that is the kind of behavior that would get me fired. They seem too "busy" doing a lot of nothing to say a simple hello, or good afternoon, that right off the bat is very off putting, and by far the biggest difference from a far from Teeter and Food Lion. At least I need to pretend I care, Food lion employees obviously do not get that training. Needless to say i'm here often, its close to home. Its easy for simple things. I avoid their meat, but anything canned and frozen is obviously safe. Prices are way better than Teeter, but then again, you pay for what you get. A few nice front end employees, but thats only about 50% that have a personality. I keep shopping here, and will continue to do so, but with a very limited list, and only when I have patience for being ignored. read more

I was so sad when I learned Bloom was changing to Food Lion. Not a fan of them removing some of the products, and not a fan of the new layout either. I go here because its close and still cheaper than Harris Teeter, but I definitely can't buy all my groceries here because of the lack of selection. read more

I would love for someone other than Food Lion to come in. This store is so basic, and could be so much more. Please step up your game. We need a good store in that area. Even a Harris Teeter would be better. In any event, if there is going to be a grocery there, please get some variety and better produce. read more

A convenient and conventional grocery store near a place we rented in the Dillworth neighborhood. Had a decent selection of items that fit our needs, as well as self-checkout capability. We visited at least twice, and had no trouble parking or dealing with crowds at checkout. read more

This store is in a perfect location and is usually well stocked. However those are the only pluses. The produce usually goes bad within a day or two of purchasing it. Berries that are completely molded from top to bottom the day after I buy them. The bagged salad no matter what the date on the bag says is mush within a day. Also the store always seems understaffed. You have to wait forever to either check out or get help from customer service. At least the staff is friendly... read more

For one reason or another, we all build loyalty to certain brands and living all over Charlotte for 12 years, mostly at Lake Norman and now in South End for 2 years, I have found I always lean towards Food Lion for most of my weekly groceries. This particular one in Dilworth has been one of the cleanest with super friendly employees. Over the years, their produce has became better with store remodels focusing on putting most of their produce in climate controlled rooms. They also SLIGHTLY increased their organic product selection. Food Lion is mainly for my non-perishable stuff as I usually head to the big Farmer's Market Saturday morning for a good bit of my veggies, microgreens and kale. They have also greatly increased their local NC craft beer selection though most of it will be non-refrigerated. Parking here can get just a little tough after work since you will also get people using the other shops (and the Comet) around 5pm and its looks like a new building with 1/2 dozen new shops will be opening sometime in 2017. Last note, I have found some Food Lions have a really big selection of "clearance meats" consistently (yellow sticker discounts). This Dilworth location seems to usually have some stickered meat every day (which is nice if you can throw something on the grill that night). read more

I wish I was in a position to shop at Earthfare all the time or lived in a world where Trader Joe's does fresh produce well. Unfortunately these options aren't feasible and I'm left (typically) choosing between the consistently jam-packed Harris Teeter on East Blvd or some of it's less enjoyable competitors. I'm really into this Bloom right now. Previously I was a hater because I'd visited a few months before and couldn't seem to find the products I wanted. I don't know if they changed up their mix or I just wasn't looking hard enough but my impressions have changed! The Park Rd Bloom is on my favorite stretch of Park Rd near Sunset Grille, Ru Sans, and Ed's Tavern. Nestled quietly behind Ed's there is always ample parking and wide, unobstructed aisles. Their fresh section is pretty large and they have a good amount of vegetarian and organic options. Most every section has a portion designated for natural and organic foods. That is nice for me, being a dabbler in natural and veg versus full blown granola. The store personnel are friendly and I am under the impression that prices are a little less than Harris Teeter. The store itself is clean and well laid out and their beer section is great - you can even make your own 6 pack! read more

first timer at bloom and i like it. its decently priced and the produce seemed pretty fresh and in good condition. i didnt know this was part of the food lion chain since im not from here. it seems a tad bit pricey but living in this area i dont have many cheaper alternatives like a bilo or food lion. the meat section was a bit small for me. everything else they had what i needed and i bought me some cheeriwine! read more

The staff is rude and the music is too loud. On numerous occasions I've had to bag my own groceries. Most of the cashiers act as if you are an inconvenience to them. The man who works in produce and the bakery people seem to be the only helpful people in the store. The cakes are better than Harris Teeter and sometimes the location is more convenient for me. Other than that, this place is pretty bad. The employees and selection of products were far better when this was Bloom. The products, staff and enviroment don't even compare to Harris Teeter. read more

well this stores is owned by the same people tha ownes food lion which is delhaize. they try to compete with harris teeter, lowes food, or even reids which is recentyl out of business. the company clean up their act since tom e. smith left the company over 10 years ago. read more
