“We’re excited about the new store and the additional services and conveniences it will provide our loyal customers.  We would like to thank everyone for their patience during the construction process. I think they will agree that the new store was well worth the wait,” said Store Manager, Josh Blevins.

Several award-winning energy saving concepts are also included, ranging from energy efficient glass cooler doors, parking lot lights and refrigeration systems to motion sensors and 100% LED lighting. 

“We’re extremely proud of our dedicated team of associates who continued working at our surrounding eastern Kentucky stores during the construction process. Our customers will find the same smiling faces, top quality products and low prices they have come to expect from Food City, along with expanded variety/selection and some great new services and conveniences,” said Smith.
