Shelves are stocked in preparation for the much anticipated November 20th opening of the new Food City on W. Broadway in Maryville, TN.  The 58,800 square foot supermarket serves as a replacement unit for the existing location.  Food City currently operates three supermarkets in the Maryville/Alcoa area.   

“We are excited to be opening our new state-of-the-art Food City in Maryville,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.  “Our customers will find the same smiling faces, top quality products and competitive pricing they have come to expect from Food City, along with some great new services and conveniences.”

The location includes an in-store bakery/deli, complete with a hot food bar, café seating area, deluxe salad bar, hickory wood smoker and stone hearth pizza oven.  Full service meat and seafood departments offer pre-marinated and seasoned oven ready products, plus a complete selection of top quality meats that are all-natural with no solutions added, including Certified Angus Beef and fresh sushi.  In-house meat cutters hand cut steaks and fresh meat to order.  Expanded grocery, frozen food and produce departments go well beyond the normal fare with a huge selection of gourmet, international and specialty items.  The Food City Floral Boutique is staffed with a designer seven days per week, offering a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items and more.  Rapid checkout service is provided by seven traditional check-out lanes and six self-check-outs. 

For added convenience, the store offers a Food City Pharmacy, equipped with a drive-thru for greater ease in prescription services, Food City Gas N’ Go, featuring a large five pump station, including diesel fuel and in-store Starbucks, offering a wide assortment of blended hot and cold coffees and beverages.  The Maryville store is among the first to include several new features for the company, including an Asian wok and hot bar, Freal milkshake and Icee machines, dispensing a variety of tasty frozen treats and a Pharmacy consultation room, to discuss patient prescription needs and administer immunizations.
 
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 are really going to enjoy the expanded variety/selection and exciting new  conveniences and services the new store offers,” says long-time store manager, Joe McCauley. 

The location will also continue to offer GoCart curbside pick-up.  Customers can select their purchases on-line at foodcity.com and their order will be filled by a professional shopper and loaded into their vehicle when they arrive at the store.  Payment can be made on-line or by credit or debit card at the time of pick-up.
