      Americans have a weird quirk with preferring “local” grocery stores but not bothering to look up who actually owns their grocery store. So the majority of “local” chains are just regional Kroger brands or in this case Food Lion is the southern equivalent of Dutch Delhaize

        Thanks for explaining, I always find it weird why they rebrand instead of making their name global but I guess it makes sense if the market wants it that way.

        Same with takeaway being called grub hub, loved that one when I found out 😂
