Food Lion has one of the most innovative and longest-running energy conservation programs in the U.S. In 2000, Food Lion became one of the EPA’s first ENERGY STAR partners. Earning an ENERGY STAR label means meeting vigorous energy efficiency standards. Today, we are proud to own more ENERGY STAR stores than all of the other grocery retailers in the U.S. Combined.
