    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.

    I live in supply and use this food lion on a very regular basis. Almost every time I order pickup,…read morethey don't even start shopping until it's time for my pickup so I have to wait or come back at a later time. The service they offer for convenience, that I pay extra for, is never convenient. They almost always aren't stocked up on things needed also. The people are always friendly but dang do your job!

    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.
