US discounter Bottom Dollar Food, part of Belgium-based retailer Delhaize, plans to open 14 more stores.
The Delhaize-owned banner said today (22 July) that the expansion will create more than 600 jobs and will bring a “fresh, new grocery option” to consumers in the greater Pittsburgh region and in Youngstown in Ohio.

“We look forward to serving the greater Pittsburgh and Youngstown, Ohio, communities by providing consumers with unbelievably low prices on groceries,” said Bottom Dollar Food president Meg Ham. “Customers will find Bottom Dollar Food unique because we carry private brands and the national brands that matter most, and offer a meaningful, efficient assortment of fresh produce, meat and other products. Additionally, we provide our customers an energetic and lighthearted shopping experience.”
Ham said the company is “very fortunate” to have a “strong emerging banner” that it can continue to grow in new markets. The company opened its first store in 2005 and has since grown to 47 stores in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
It said it is also focused on expanding in the greater Philadelphia market, where it operates 17 stores.
