Food Lion Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday Hours

Food Lion Hours Today: Opening and Closing Times by Store

On October 13, 2026 we read the store directory at stores.foodlion.com for Charlotte, North Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia, then opened individual store pages. Each page listed seven identical rows, Monday through Sunday.

The open or closed bar on this page applies the 7 AM opening and the 10 PM closing used by the largest group of stores, so it answers whether most Food Lions are open at the moment. A late-closing store may still be open after the bar says closed.

What Time Does Food Lion Close? Timings for Sunday and Late Evenings

There is no separate Sunday or weekend schedule on the pages we opened. Closing is the same on Sunday as Monday.

• Charlotte directory: 21 stores close at 10 PM and 8 at 11 PM, with no store in the list closing earlier.
• Norfolk directory: closing times of 10 PM, 11 PM and 12 AM all appeared among eight stores.
• Opening time on every page we read was 7 AM, so an early-morning shopper has no head start over the usual 7 AM crowd.
• We saw no store listing a 24-hour schedule.

Food Lion Deli, Wing Bar, Pickup and Delivery: What Each Store Offers

Store pages list services rather than service hours. The set differs between stores, even within one city.

• Pickup shows on one Charlotte store and delivery on the other two, so a store may offer one and not the other.
• None of these pages publishes separate hours for the deli, wing bar or fried chicken counter, so assume they follow the store or finish earlier.
• Each page has a Shop Online button for ordering, with time slots chosen at checkout rather than printed on the page.

Does Food Lion Have a Pharmacy, and What Are Its Hours?

Not every Food Lion has one, and the three store pages we opened listed none.

None of the services lists we read included a pharmacy, so we cannot give counter hours for those stores. Food Lion operates pharmacies in only some locations, and a roundup of 2025 Thanksgiving hours reported that all of them were closed that day. If you need a prescription, use the store locator filters on foodlion.com or call the store you plan to visit.

Food Lion Thanksgiving Hours 2026: Open Until 3 PM?

Food Lion has opened on Thanksgiving Day and closed early. Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26.

Nexstar coverage added that regular hours resume the next day, Black Friday. We could not find a Food Lion statement for 2026, so treat 3 PM as the likely close and verify it on your store page.

Food Lion Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Hours

Mark these dates for Food Lion: Christmas Eve on Thursday, December 24, Christmas Day on Friday, December 25, and New Year's Day on Friday, January 1, 2027.

We found no official Food Lion list for these days. General guides say stores close on Christmas Day and shorten Christmas Eve, but the pages that make those claims are low quality and disagree about times, so we publish no closing hour.

Is Food Lion Open on Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day?

We found no company notice of closures on these days.

Some generic guides say stores may run reduced hours on these dates. We could not confirm that, so use the store page for the specific day.

Food Lion Hours in Charlotte, NC: Four Stores Compared

Charlotte is the city with a page on this site, and the directory there shows how much closing time can change within one metro area.

• The Johnston Road store, the only one in this group that stays open to 11 PM, lists delivery and a wing bar but no fried chicken counter.
• The Ashley Road store lists pickup, buttermilk fried chicken and a wing bar, and closes an hour earlier.
• The Pineville store appears in the nearby list for Johnston Road and also closes at 11 PM.
• If you shop after 10 PM in Charlotte, start with the stores that carry an 11 PM status instead of assuming the nearest one is open.

Food Lion Hours in Norfolk, VA and Hampton Roads

Norfolk is where we saw the widest spread, from a 10 PM close to midnight in a single city listing.

The Norfolk directory returned eight stores, with closing times of 10 PM, 11 PM and 12 AM among them. The store at 1235 N Military Hwy, phone (757) 461-2533, was a 10 PM store open from 7 AM every day, with delivery, a deli, floral, propane tanks and buttermilk fried chicken. Another Norfolk store listed at 1859 E Little Creek Rd appeared in the same directory.

• Charlotte's page listed Johnston Road, Ashley Road, University and Beatties Ford Road among its stores.
• Each store page has links for directions, weekly specials and online shopping, plus a Nearby Locations list.
