Ahold Delhaize USA plans to invest $860 million in a new distribution center in Burlington, North Carolina, aimed at enhancing its supply chain for Food Lion stores. The facility will cover over 1 million square feet and is expected to start construction in 2026, with operations beginning in 2029. This center will support the growth of Food Lion, which has seen consistent sales growth and currently operates over 1,100 stores in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. The initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand its self-distribution capabilities.
