We had a Food Lion that opened up in a brand new building a few weeks before the television report about bleaching meat to eliminate odors and selling cheese that had been gnawed on by rodents. It closed down within a month. Now it has been converted into a climate controlled self storage rental place.
I remember that. Happened soon after I moved to Virginia. The stores there were shut down in my area and they cleaned house. Not just the buildings, but management, etc.
They turned it around though. I lived in a bad part of town and the perception was that the store would be bad. Nope. Very clean, always stocked, and nice employees...give or take a few.
