The opening of a new grocery store in College Park has created 74 jobs for the south Fulton County city.

Food Lion opened its first store in College Park earlier this month on West Fayetteville Road. The 35,000-square-foot facility includes an in-store bakery as well as a propane exchange, vacuum rentals and other services.

Jobs created range from cashier posts to management positions.
