Abstract:

Salisbury is a small town in Rowan County. Food Lion was founded there and the town is also home to Catawba College. In the late twentieth century, early Food Lion investors became millionaires due to the success of the supermarket chain. Many of these investors stayed in Salisbury and invested the money in their community, all the while helping to preserve it.
