Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much-anticipated October 22nd opening of the new 54,000 sq. ft. Food City on Highway 58 in Chattanooga, TN. The supermarket serves as a replacement for the former location which closed earlier this year to make way for construction of the new store.

“We appreciate the support the residents of Chattanooga and Hamilton County have shown our company, and we’re excited to provide our loyal customers with a new state-of-the-art Food City to better serve their needs,” said 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, large café seating area, fireplace, Asian wok, fresh food bar offering a variety of soup, salad and fruit selections, 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 huge 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 with a drive-thru, Food City Gas N’ Go featuring top quality fuel/diesel, 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 the same top-quality products, low prices, and friendly smiling faces they have some to expect from Food City, along with some exciting new services and conveniences,” says Smith.
