Expanded grocery, frozen food, and produce 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 checkout lanes and seven self-checkouts. Curbside pick-up and home delivery are available for customers wishing to shop online. The store also includes a Food City Pharmacy, equipped with a drive-thru, 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, as well as an open-rafter ceiling design.
“Our customers can expect to find exceptional customer service and top-quality products at the lowest possible prices, along with great variety/selection and exciting new services,” says Smith.
