Food Lion confirms it’s closing down all 1,100 stores for entire day in just weeks following Walma -

JINGLE all the way back from your favorite store as it's closed for Christmas festivities.

Food Lion, the hub for all your food and drink needs with over 1,100 stores across 10 states, won't be open this Christmas.

The grocery chain has joined the list of retailers across the US shutting their doors, but with good reason.

Employees have a chance to spread Christmas cheer from the comfort of their own homes on December 25.

They're still expected to work on Christmas Eve though.

Food Lion's hours for December 24 are 7 am to 6 pm.

This gives workers a chance to attend their winter wonderland fests or ugly sweater parties.

Hopefully they enjoy this break, as they didn't get to have one for Thanksgiving since the store was open till 5 pm.

In fact, Christmas is the only holiday when Food Lion completely closes.

Be sure to check the website's store locator to confirm specific hours for your local Food Lion.
