Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much-anticipated June 4th opening of the new 33,000 sq. ft. Food City on Governors Drive in Huntsville, AL. The store is the third of six locations planned for the Huntsville market. 

“Our first two Huntsville locations have been very well received, and we’re excited to open our third store on Governors Drive. While this location is a slightly smaller footprint for our company, our team has worked hard to maximize every square inch of available space to ensure the design meets the needs of the area residents,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.

The location is equipped with a number of premium services, including an in-store bakery and deli, complete with a hot food bar, café seating area and fireplace, Asian wok, fresh food bar offering a variety of soup, salad and fruit selections, hickory wood smoker, pizza oven, and fresh sushi. Full-service meat and seafood departments offer top-quality meats, including Certified Angus Beef, and in-house butchers to hand cut steaks and fresh meat to order. Expanded grocery, frozen food and produce departments go well beyond the normal fare with a large selection of specialty, gourmet, and vegan items. 

The Food City Floral Boutique, staffed with a designer seven days a week offers a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items, and more. Curbside pick-up and home delivery are available for customers wishing to shop on-line. The store also includes a Food City Pharmacy and Starbucks cafe offering a wide assortment of blended hot/cold coffees and beverages.

The new location also features several award-winning energy saving concepts, ranging from energy efficient glass cooler doors, parking lot lights and refrigeration systems to motion sensors and 100% LED lighting. 

“Our customers can expect to find exceptional customer service and top-quality products at the lowest possible prices,” says Smith.
