Pennsylvania-based Weis Markets Inc. plans to convert 38 Food Lion supermarkets in three states, including Virginia, to Weis stores by the end of October.
The stores include 13 in Culpeper, Fredericksburg, Stafford and Spotsylvania. The other stores are in Maryland and Delaware.
Weist announced the purchase of the 38 stores in July. Financial details about the acquisition were not disclosed.
"Once the conversions are completed over the next two months, we will have nearly doubled our Maryland store count and expanded into Virginia and Delaware," Kurt Schertle, Weis' chief operating officer, said in a statement.
