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.

    During my stay in Ocean Isle Beach we decided to stock up on some items for our beach house for the…read morelong stay. We stopped by this Walmart supercenter. 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.

Walmart are so accommodating and so nice and as long as you meet with the manager and let them know they're usually willing to work with you as far as spending a couple nights there as long as you clean up after yourself and aren't causing any problems. After going and speaking with the manager, found this not to be the case. Not only was he completely rude and unaccommodating. He threw us out stating we needed to leave in two hours. Unfortunately, my fiancé locked the keys in his car which he informed the manager who intern turned around and walked away and ended up calling the cops. Are you kidding me? What exactly are we doing wrong here sitting in a parking lot taking up four spaces when there's 50-60 other spaces not causing a problem. Literally have walked over there. 20 times and spent over $1000 for the manager to be a self-righteous prick.. will not be returning into that store for anything. Extremely disappointing since every other associate besides the manager we're actually people that enjoyed being there and it showed and they did a great job. Too bad their manager sucks. He tried to spell company policy, which is a bunch of BS. If he would've tried to lie and say it was Town ordinance or some bull crap like that, I could understand, but in the 25 other states that I visited every Walmart was the the accommodating as long as we spoke to the manager and gave them a heads up as to how many days we were trying to stay there.. I have never ever been told by a manager of Walmart unless it was a town ordinance that we could not stay.. The manager was just a disgusting, rude power-hungry prick that wanted to show his ass by trying to get somebody in trouble for no reason other than him being an ass..

    Since there's a Food Lion in Holden Beach, I rarely take the opportunity to shop at this Shallotte…read morelocation. 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.

    This is a very good grocery store that really functions well most of the time. I have shopped at…read morethis store since they came to Shallotte years ago. 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.

Only having one register staffed when there was a long line of customers was not efficient during the summer, but other than that, what you'd expect from Dollar General stores. The Deets: While at a recent vacation in Holden Beach, we had the need to pick up a new plastic chair by request for one of the group. Remembering this Dollar General just outside of Holden Beach on the way to Shallotte, we went there to see what they had. It is easy to find with the usual Dollar General road signage. It has a fair sized parking lot that appeared to be pretty occupied when we arrived (more on that later). Right as we walked up, we found the type of chair needed and it was the only one left, lucky us! So we grabbed it and in we went. Once inside, it's the usual type of layout and large mixture of items one would expect seeing at a Dollar General. This one had almost 4 star potential except, remember when I remarked on how many cars were in the lot? Well, all those people were waiting in line to get checked out with their merchandise. I'm going with 3 stars here because they have the capacity for more than one person to staff registers but there was only one staff member there. Granted, this person worked very hard, stayed positive, and worked as efficiently as possible with the amount of people with the amount of items handled. Knowing this store services a beach area with it being summer, I'd say they needed all registers staffed for efficiency. With that said, this Dollar General is OK, we found what was needed.
