The Food City location on Chapman Highway in Seymour, TN is currently undergoing a significant expansion/remodel.  The store is scheduled to receive an additional 13,700+ square feet of retail space, bringing the total square footage to 57,700+, and making the supermarket one of the largest in the retailer’s chain.  While total project completion is not expected until late Spring, the various departments will open as they are completed.  The expanded bakery/deli and produce departments are scheduled to open today, March 16, 2015.

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to enlarge our Seymour location to better serve our loyal customers.  We will continue to offer the same top quality products, exceptional customer service and competitive pricing our shoppers have come to expect from Food City, with enhanced variety, selection and services,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. 

In addition to the conveniences already provided, the location now includes an expanded café seating area, hickory wood smoker, tortilla maker and stone hearth pizza oven.  The full service meat and seafood departments will soon include fresh sushi.  The produce and grocery department are being enlarged and will go well beyond the normal fare, offering a huge selection of gourmet, international and specialty items.  The Food City Gas n’ Go has been relocated and expanded from 3 to 5 pumps and will now offer diesel fuel.  Customers also have direct access to the location via an additional entrance off Highway 411.

“Our new enlarged departments will allow us to significantly increase the variety and selection of the products available.  The additional square footage will result in greater ease in shopping the store and relocating the Gas n’ Go has also created additional parking spaces to better accommodate our customers,” says district manager, Steve Trout.

“I would like to thank our loyal customers for their understanding during the construction process.  We are very excited about the additional services and selection the expansion will bring and I am confident they will agree it was well worth the wait,” adds store manager, Jason Wayman.
