Food Lion Plans $860m Burlington Distribution Center

The $860 million automated center will create over 500 jobs and expand Food Lion's supply chain, supporting its 51st consecutive quarter of positive sales growth.

  • On Wednesday, Ahold Delhaize USA announced it will invest $860 million to build a distribution center in Burlington, North Carolina, creating over 500 new jobs.
  • Ahold Delhaize USA said the investment grows its supply chain network and expands capacity to support Food Lion's growth as part of its Growing Together strategy and self-distribution drive begun six years ago.
  • The automated, multi-temperature facility will add over 1 million square feet in the Rock Creek area of Guilford County, with construction slated to begin in 2026 and operations expected in 2029.
  • City officials considered cash-based incentives not to exceed 21.5 million and local policy under NC general statute 158-7.1 authorizes performance-based incentives to encourage the investment.
  • The Burlington site positions the company as Ahold Delhaize's fourth North Carolina distribution center as Food Lion reports its 51st consecutive quarter of positive comp-store sales and e-commerce profitability in the first half of 2025.
