Food Lion plans to open at Festival Centre, 5101 Ashley Phosphate Rd. in North Charleston, joining Planet Fitness as a co-anchor. The center has had no supermarket anchor since Piggly Wiggly left in 2013. The store is planned for October 2027.
Why this matters here
A grocery anchor changes the traffic pattern for every other tenant in a shopping center, which is why the smaller businesses along Ashley Phosphate have reason to watch this one. If you lease nearby, the time to think about signage, hours and promotions around that opening is well before 2027.
