PART I
Item 1. Business.
Food Lion, Inc. (the "Company") engages in one line of
business, the operation of retail food supermarkets principally in
the southeastern United States. The Company was incorporated in
North Carolina in 1957 and maintains its corporate headquarters in
Salisbury, North Carolina.
The Company's stores, which are operated under the name of
"Food Lion", sell a wide variety of groceries, produce, meats,
dairy products, seafood, frozen food, deli/bakery and non-food
items such as tobacco, health and beauty aids and other household
and personal products. The Company offers nationally and
regionally advertised brand name merchandise as well as products
manufactured and packaged for the Company under the private label
of "Food Lion". The Company offers over 20,000 Stock Keeping
Units (SKU's) in its prototype 35,000 square foot model.
The products sold by the Company are purchased through a
centralized buying department at the Company's headquarters. The
centralization of the buying function allows the management of the
Company to establish long-term relationships with many vendors
providing various alternatives for sources of product supply.
Food Lion currently operates deli-bakery departments in
approximately 55% of its stores. Deli-bakeries are included in
approximately 90% of new store openings. Deli-bakeries are added
to existing stores after research indicates a customer demand for
such products.
-2-
The business in which the Company is engaged is highly
competitive and characterized by low profit margins. The Company
competes with national, regional and local supermarket chains,
discount food stores, single unit stores, convenience stores and
warehouse clubs. The Company will continue to develop and
evaluate new retailing strategies that will challenge competitors.
Seasonal changes have no material effect on the operation of the
Company's supermarkets.
Since 1968, the Company has followed a policy of selling
merchandise at low item prices in order to increase volume without
a proportionate increase in fixed and operating expenses. Trading
stamps are not offered in any of the Company's supermarkets.
As of December 31, 1994, 1,039 supermarkets were in
operation, of which 364 were located in North Carolina, 97 in
South Carolina, 222 in Virginia, 70 in Tennessee, 52 in Georgia,
106 in Florida, 24 in Maryland, 7 in Delaware, 15 in West
Virginia, 13 in Kentucky, 7 in Pennsylvania, 49 in Texas, 8 in
Oklahoma and 5 in Louisiana. As of March 23, 1995, the Company
had opened three supermarkets since December 31, 1994, closed one
supermarket and had signed leases for ten supermarkets which are
expected to open in either 1995 or 1996.
Warehousing and distribution facilities, including a truck
fleet, are owned and operated by the Company and are located in
Salisbury and Dunn, North Carolina; Petersburg, Virginia; Elloree,
South Carolina; Green Cove Springs and Plant City, Florida;
Clinton, Tennessee; Greencastle, Pennsylvania and Roanoke, Texas.
As of December 31, 1994, the Company employed 29,352 full-
time and 35,488 part-time employees.
The following table shows the number of stores opened and closed
and the number of stores opened at the end of the year for the
past three years.

Item 2. Properties.
Supermarkets operated by the Company in the southeastern
United States average 26,500 square feet in size. The Company's
current prototype retail format is a 35,000 square foot model with
a deli-bakery department. All of the Company's supermarkets are
self-service, cash and carry stores which have off-street parking
facilities. With the exception of 101 supermarkets which it owns,
the Company occupies its various supermarket premises under lease
agreements providing for initial terms of up to 25 years, with
options generally ranging from ten to twenty years. All
supermarkets are located in modern, air-conditioned facilities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Longman et al. v, Food Lion, Inc. and Tom E. Smith, 4:92 CV 696
(M.D.N.C.) (complaint filed November 12, 1992, and amended January
23, 1993) ("Longman"); and Feinman et al. v. Food Lion, Inc. and
Tom E. Smith, 4:92 CV 705 (M.D.N.C.) (complaint filed November 13,
1992) ("Feinman").
The Longman and Feinman actions assert claims under Section 10(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), and Rule 10b-5 for "securities fraud" and claims of common
law fraud and negligent misrepresentation, and purport to be class
actions on behalf of purchasers of Food Lion stock during certain
"class periods." These actions seek damages for such purported
class members in presently unknown amounts, Plaintiffs' attorneys'
fees and costs, punitive damages, prejudgment interest and certain
other relief. In the Longman and Feinman actions, Tom E. Smith is
also a defendant. The Longman and Feinman actions have been
consolidated for discovery and trial purposes. On October 17,
1994, the district court entered an order granting class
certification motions in these actions and certifying a single
class composed of those persons who purchased common stock of the
Company from May 7, 1990 through November 5, 1992 and were damaged
thereby. Merits discovery has begun in both of the actions.
Based on currently available information, the Company believes
that any resulting liability will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
In re Food Lion, Inc., Fair Labor Standards Act "Effective
Scheduling" Litigation, MDL Docket No. 929, pursuant to which a
number of actions against the Company were transferred by the
Multi-District Litigation Panel to the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina for consolidated
pre-trial proceedings (the "Multi-District Action"). Those
pretrial proceedings are complete, and a number of the original
actions were dismissed. Appeals to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit by the approximately 120 claimants
dismissed from the North Carolina actions are now pending. The
time for appeal has not yet run with respect to the other
dismissed claims. The cases that were not dismissed have been
remanded to their transferor districts for trial. The remaining
cases involve the claims of approximately 357 plaintiffs in
Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina who seek payment under
the Fair Labor Standards Act for alleged uncompensated overtime
hours, liquidated damages, additional contributions to the
Company's profit sharing plan, costs and attorneys' fees. The
Company will vigorously defend each of the Actions that remain
pending. The parties are currently discussing the potential for
employing alternate dispute resolution procedures to resolve the
remaining North Carolina and South Carolina claims. Based on
currently available information, the Company believes that any
resulting liability will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Sutton, et al. v. Food Lion, Inc., Civil Action No. 3:94CV322
(E.D. Va.). On May 19, 1994, thirteen plaintiffs filed a lawsuit
against Food Lion in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, alleging employment discrimination
in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, and 42 U.S.C. 1981, as amended. The complaint alleged a
pattern and practice of discrimination in hiring, promotions,
discipline, discharge, allocation
-5-
of hours, awarding full-time status, and wages. The complaint
sought certification of a class defined as all past and present
black employees of Food Lion and all black applicants for
employment at Food Lion. The complaint also sought broad
injunctive relief, monetary damages including compensatory and
punitive damages, attorneys' fees and expenses.
Food Lion opposed plaintiffs' efforts to have the case certified
as a class action. On September 7, 1994, the Court denied
plaintiffs' motion for class certification and set the thirteen
individual claims for trial. After the Court's denial of class
certification, several of the individual plaintiffs' claims were
dismissed by the Court either as the result of motions filed by
Food Lion or through the acceptance of offers of judgment or
voluntary settlement offers. After a two-day bench trial, the
Court, in a January 20, 1995 order, dismissed the claims of the
two remaining plaintiffs and entered final judgment in favor of
Food Lion. One of the two plaintiffs appealed the District
Court's order to the United States court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit, and that appeal is pending. Based on currently
available information, the Company believes that any resulting
liability will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of Food Lion, Inc.:
We have audited the financial statements of Food Lion, Inc.
as of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994, and for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1994, which
financial statements are included on pages 11 through 19 of the
1994 Annual Report to Shareholders of Food Lion, Inc. and
incorporated by reference herein. We have also audited the
financial statement schedule listed in the index on page 8 of this
Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Food Lion, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule
referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included
therein.
