Cheese lovers across the Southeast have something to celebrate — Cooper Sharp cheese, known for its bold and sharp flavor, creamy taste, and nostalgic appeal, is now available in more than 1,100 Food Lion locations throughout the omnichannel retailer’s 10-state footprint.

Longtime fans and new customers alike can now find Cooper Sharp White in the Deli section of Food Lion stores, with Cooper Sharp Yellow also available in select locations between Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. This expansion significantly increases availability throughout the region, bringing the unmistakable flavor of Cooper Sharp to thousands more households.

“This is an exciting milestone for the Cooper brand,” said Michelle Spoerl, Brand Manager for Cooper cheese. “Cooper Sharp has been a staple in Northeast kitchens for generations, and now even more fans in the Southeast can get a taste of what makes our cheese so iconic. Whether you grew up with it or are trying it for the first time, everyone deserves the creamy, sharp goodness of Cooper.”

The Cooper cheese brand got its start in the Northeast more than 130 years ago, and it’s had a loyal fanbase ever since — especially in places like Philadelphia, where it’s the go-to for legendary cheesesteaks and mouthwatering grilled cheese. As Cooper cheese broadens into new markets and formats, we’re proud to stay true to what made Cooper special in the first place: that same memorable flavor, creamy texture, and sense of nostalgia in every slice.

This expansion is part of Cooper cheese’s broader national growth, with plans to extend distribution across the Southeast, Midwest, and beyond. Cooper cheese is also becoming available in new formats, offering even more ways for families and restaurants alike to enjoy the unforgettable taste that Cooper cheese is known for.
