HILTON HEAD, S.C. — Food Lion is opening a new grocery store today, Wednesday, Nov. 11, on Mathews Drive, in the Port Royal Plaza shopping center on Hilton Head Island. The address is 93 Mathews Drive.

A ribbon-cutting is set for 7:45 a.m., after which shoppers will be let in. The first 100 people in line are slated to get a mystery gift card worth as much as $200, along with other opening prizes. The store’s regular hours will be 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The 41,000-square-foot shop sits in the former Sam’s Club building. The chain previously ran a store on Palmetto Bay Road for 22 years and closed it in 2022 as part of a larger round of shutdowns. This is the first Food Lion on the island in more than a decade, according to the company, and its 22nd in the greater Savannah area.

The location will offer pickup and home delivery, plus prepared foods such as fresh-cut fruit, sushi and a hot-food bar. The company said the Hilton Head store is its ninth new opening of 2026.
