GREENVILLE, S.C. -- With three back-to-back groundbreaking ceremonies and a grand opening celebration, Food Lion LLC is launching a total of four new stores in South Carolina this week. Construction will begin soon on new Food Lion stores in Anderson, Union, and Woodruff. Bloom, the company's newest supermarket concept, also opened a third store in Greer on Jan. 24.
