SALISBURY — Bottom Dollar Food, a discount grocer based in Salisbury and owned by Food Lion parent company Delhaize America, has announced plans to open eight additional stores in New Jersey.
Bottom Dollar’s expansion efforts are under way in the greater Philadelphia market. The expansion will create more than 300 jobs and more than double the number of Bottom Dollar Food stores in the Garden State, with the first two stores opening Friday.
“We have been pleased with customer reaction to our current five stores in New Jersey and we are very excited to continue serving customers at our additional locations in the market,” Bottom Dollar Food President Meg Ham said in a press release.
With a focus on price, Bottom Dollar Food has a “We Won’t Be Beat” guarantee, where stores will beat any competitor’s price on the same item by a penny. Bottom Dollar Food opened its first store in the greater Philadelphia market, which encompasses stores in New Jersey, on Oct. 8, 2010.
Bottom Dollar Food operates 43 stores in three states – Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio.
