Chattanooga, TN – March 21, 2025 – Food City, a leading regional grocery
store chain, is proud to announce the replacement of its current store at
4510 TN-58 Highway 58 in Chattanooga. CEO Steven Smith said that it would
be more cost effective for the future if the existing store was replaced
with a new, state of the art building that would support their existing
brands, including a gas station, new deli, and pharmacy. The new build is
part of Food City’s ongoing commitment to better serve local communities
and provide quality service.
In a recent community engagement event facilitated by Land Development
Senior Ombudsman Dallas Rucker and ECE Neighborhood Services Specialist
Marcie Keith Tolliver, Food City CEO Steven Smith addressed local
neighborhood associations. “We’re thrilled to bring this to the residents
of Hwy 58 and the Hills. Hearing you say that this is your store makes our
commitment to serving your neighborhood even more important.” said Smith.
“At Food City, we are not just about providing groceries—we are about
building lasting relationships with the communities we serve."
Local citizens had the opportunity to voice their concerns and ask
questions during the session. Smith noted that the feedback was
overwhelmingly positive, with very few concerns raised. Most questions
centered around the store’s impact on traffic patterns and environmental
considerations, both of which have been carefully addressed in the planning
stages. The company reassured residents that the store's development
follows all necessary regulations to minimize disruptions to the area.
The grand opening of the new store is slated for October, with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony and special promotions to celebrate the occasion.
Food City invites all community members to attend the opening and explore
the new store when completed.
