Food Lion Mission Statement

There's a lot you can learn about a company and it's mission statement.  Food Lion mission is "Food Lion is your neighborly, practical and dependable grocery store for life!"  Food Lion mission to focused on being neighborly, dependable and retaining it's customer base. This mission is good for today but does nothing about saying where the company will be going in the future. I think they should add onto their mission to include a road map that is helping to direct the organization to a higher goal.  They should focus on employee growth and development  It's important that employees know where the company is going and how they will get there.
