Abingdon, VA. - Thursday, Jan 25, 2018.

Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much anticipated January 31st opening of the new Food City in Sevier County.  The 48,500+ square foot supermarket, located at the intersection of Newport Highway and New Center Road is the company’s sixth location in the area.

 

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to add a new state-of-the-art Food City in Sevier County, where we currently operate five other area locations,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.  “We are proud to have been a part of the Sevier County retail community for more than three decades and we greatly appreciate the support our loyal customers have shown our company.”

 

The location includes an in-store bakery/deli, complete with a hot food bar, large café seating area, pizzeria and fresh food bar featuring a wide variety of soup, wings, salad and fruit selections.  Full service meat and seafood departments offer pre-marinated and seasoned oven ready products, plus a complete selection of top quality meats that are all-natural with no solutions added, including Certified Angus Beef.  In-house meat cutters 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 gourmet, international and specialty items.  The Food City Floral Boutique is staffed with a designer seven days per week, offering a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items and more.  Rapid checkout service is provided by seven traditional check-out lanes and four self-check-outs.  For added convenience, Food City is proud to continue its relationship with Citizen’s National Bank, who will offer an in-store branch banking option, Food City Pharmacy, equipped with a convenient drive-thru and a Food City Gas N’ Go, featuring a large five pump station, including diesel fuel.  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, as well as an open rafter ceiling design. 

 

“Our customers will find the same exceptional customer service, top quality products and competitive pricing they have come to expect from Food City, housed in a more energy efficient model, along with some exciting new features and conveniences,” says Food City district manager, Steve Trout.

 

The store also offers the added convenience of GoCart curbside pick-up.  Customers can select their purchases on-line and their order will be filled by a professional shopper and loaded into their vehicle when they arrive at the store.  Payment can be made on-line or by credit or debit card at the time of pick-up.  Food City Home Delivery (powered by Instacart) is also available.  To take advantage of this great, new time saving initiative, simply visit foodcitydelivers.com or download the Instacart App.
