Food Lion Still on Track in Daleville

According to the Roanoke Times Orchard Marketplace just off Rt. 220 in Botetourt County will soon be welcoming a Food Lion and a CVS. The center sits across from the Daleville Town Center, which also is under construction and eventually will house residential and commercial space.

Retail isn't the only feature at Orchard Marketplace. Other plans for sites near by include a Carilion Clinic medical facility and a dental office.

These developments in Daleville will enhance the quality of living for area homeowners, and boast the area's economy by drawing traffic from people driving home from work via U.S. 220.

"A grocer with a new look and a national pharmacy chain are two of the businesses slated for a new retail center in Daleville that still looks like a construction zone.

By mid- to late August, a 35,000-square-foot Food Lion is expected to open its doors at the Orchard Marketplace, just off the busy U.S. 220 corridor in Botetourt County.

Dressed with a dark brick exterior, the store will show off the North Carolina-based grocer's new prototype design. The food areas, from produce to meat and deli, will be sectioned into what the chain calls 'neighborhoods.'

The Food Lion will anchor the Orchard Marketplace, a 33-acre retail center that, so far, will have a CVS Pharmacy, medical facilities and other small shops, according to a master plan for the development.

The center sits across from the Daleville Town Center, which also is under construction and eventually will house residential and commercial space."
