Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much-anticipated July 31st opening of the new 50,600+ sq. ft. Food City on Georgetown Rd. in Cleveland, TN. 

“We are excited to provide our valued 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 new store includes an in-store bakery and deli, complete with a hot food bar, fireplace, Asian wok, fresh food bar offering a variety of soup, salad, and fruit selections, hickory wood smoker, brick pizza oven, fresh sushi, and large café seating area. Full-service meat and seafood departments offer top-quality meats, including Certified Angus Beef and pre-marinated/seasoned oven ready products. In-house butchers are available to hand cut steaks and fresh meat to order. Expanded grocery, frozen food, and produce departments go well beyond the normal fare with a complete selection of gourmet, specialty, and vegan items. 

The Food City Floral Boutique is staffed with a designer seven days a week and offers a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items and more. Rapid checkout service is provided by five check-out lanes and seven self-checkouts. Curbside pick-up and home delivery services are available for customers wishing to shop on-line. The location also includes a Food City Pharmacy, Gas n’ Go with diesel fuel, and Starbucks café, offering a wide assortment of blended hot/cold coffees and beverages. Several award-winning energy saving concepts are included, ranging from energy efficient glass cooler doors, parking lot lights and refrigeration systems to motion sensors and 100% LED lighting. 

“Our customers will find the smiling faces, exceptional customer service and top-quality products they have come to expect from Food City, combined with some exciting services and conveniences and expanded variety/selection,” says Smith.
