Local grocery store…read more Try to find a grocery store within 10 miles of Skyline drive- I dare you. Try as I might I couldn't locate one until I drove like two towns over to the town of Shenandoah proper and found this local IGA. Lucky for me! This place is great- they have all your basics and at prices that will make you giggle- but then there are some items where the pricing is so bizarre that you have to wonder why... Excellent and friendly help.

Caution: Sales Associates in this store treat customers like thieves…read more The Primo water bottle collection site in front of the store has been broken for at least 5 years. When you return empty bottles, the machine does NOT provide a return ticket. On several occasions, my husband has been asked by the lead Sales Associate for his exchange ticket. We have briefly interacted with this lovely woman for years; however, the fact is she knows the Primo machine does not provide exchange tickets when she's asking you for the ticket. On another occasion, a younger Sales Associate did the same thing and then told my husband they are trying to make sure people are being honest. We cannot drink our well water and purchase Primo exchange bottles at Food Lion routinely. To avoid this accusatory encounter, I have now resorted to self-checkout. To do so, simply search for the product by typing "Primo" and select the 5 gallon exchange. The lead Sales Associate will still give judgmental looks, but she can't do anything about self-checkout personal accountability. The honor system does not work if you're going to routinely accuse your customer base of theft. Fix the Primo exchange machine and then you will fix the problem.

October, 2025. We are regular customers of Food Lion "at home" in central Virginia, but this was…read moreour first visit to the Elkton location. The store was well-organized and clean, and we found everything that we intended to buy. As with our home Food Lion, I'd love to see a bigger variety of fresh fruits and vegetables ... nonetheless, what was there was fresh. The check-out clerk was friendly and efficient; products went through at their correct prices. Parking was free and plentiful, and the small shopping center where it's located is easy to access as there is a traffic light off Rte. 33. We appreciate that patrons at any Food Lion location can earn/redeem incentives through their MVP Shop & Earn Monthly Rewards Program.

Typical Walmart experience - short staffed, apathetic employees who lack any knowledge (and perhaps…read morea few chromosomes). As with any Walmart, you need to mentally set the bar low prior to entering and expect poor service and ignorant employees who are not interested in providing any level of customer service. As to their grocery items, be sure to check out expiration dates and the condition of the food you're buying and always get a receipt.

I was having trouble finding something and I asked an employee named Erica if she wouldn't mind helping me.

Do better Walmart!

There is a commercial butchering operation on site as well as a nice little butcher shop. The store has a lot of great local goods for sale as well as some of the best fried chicken I have ever had in my entire life. They also have a butcher on site to cut your meat right there for you. Even my ground beef was from that morning. The workers were all so friendly and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable and again the meat was so good quality and fresh. My friend even commented on the quality of the chicken which isn't something I thought could Be noticed and he didn't realize I got it from a butcher not the grocery store. I'll come back every time I'm there for fried chicken guaranteed!! It's the stuff dreams are made of

It's a corner, generic-looking store but the inside is brimming with goodies; from produce, baked goods, cheeses, jams, gifts and even a candy nook in the back. What a fun country store!

Pricey...okay, yes it is, BUT remember, this store is in the middle of nowhere and it's a convenient store. You pay the price for the convenience of a store not in a major town in the middle of nowhere. Just like any other convenience store ‍ With that said, this store has everything you could possibly want in the mountains. From over the counter medicine to steaks, beer, utensils, gas, ice, fire wood, slushy machine and coffee to name a few. There's too much to list, so I took many pictures with the hopes that they help others to see what they carry. I gave them 4 stars because we ordered two deli sandwiches and only one of them had everything we wanted on it even though we said on both. The chicken salad sandwich was a little sweet for our liking as well. Other than that, it was very clean and well stocked! Yes, there is not much parking, but it's not small either...this isn't Walmart. In conclusion, they have a very wide variety of food and hardware items. You will find what you need here.
