Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much-anticipated February 28th opening of the new Food City on Dickenson Hwy. in Clintwood, VA. The 45,000 square foot retail supermarket serves as a replacement for Food City’s existing location. 

“We have served the residents of Clintwood and Dickenson County for nearly 25 years, and we are excited to provide our loyal customers with this much needed new state-of-the-art Food City to better serve their needs,” said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.

The new store includes an in-store bakery and deli, complete with a hot food bar, large café seating area, fresh food bar offering a variety of soup, salad and fruit selections, expanded selection of specialty cheeses, and fresh sushi. Full-service meat and seafood departments offer pre-marinated and seasoned oven ready products, top quality meats, Certified Angus Beef, and in-house butchers to hand cut steaks and fresh meat to order. Expanded grocery, frozen food, produce, and beer & wine 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 per week, offers a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items, and more. Rapid checkout service is provided by five traditional check-out lanes and seven self-checkouts. Curbside pick-up is available for customers wishing to shop on-line. The store also includes a Food City Pharmacy, equipped with an express walk-up window, Food City Gas N’ Go fuel center, featuring top quality fuel and diesel, and a Starbucks cafe, offering a wide assortment of blended hot/cold coffees and beverages. 

The new location 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 smiling faces, exceptional customer service and top-quality products, with expanded variety/selection and some exciting new services,” says Smith.
