SALISBURY, N.C. — Delhaize America, the parent company of Food Lion, will fire 350 corporate employees as part of a reorganization that started last year, the Salisbury Post is reporting.

According to the report, all layoffs will be above the store manager level.

A memo sent to employees obtained by the paper did not specify how many Food Lion employees will lose their jobs, and a spokeswoman told the paper she could not give details by company.

Salisbury-based Delhaize America owns several grocery chains, including Bottom Dollar Food, also headquartered in Salisbury.
