Food City opened a 55,000-square-foot store April 16 in Dayton, Tennessee, that replaces the previous Market Street location in the city.
“We appreciate the support the residents of Dayton and Rhea County have shown our company, and we’re excited to provide our loyal customers with a much-needed new state-of-the-art Food City to better serve their needs,” said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and CEO.
The location includes an in-store bakery and deli with a hot food bar, large café seating area, fireplace, Asian wok, fresh food bar offering a variety of soup, salad and fruit selections, hickory wood smoker, pizza oven and fresh sushi.
Full-service meat and seafood departments offer top-quality meats, Certified Angus Beef and in-house butchers to hand cut steaks and fresh meat to order. Expanded grocery, frozen food and produce departments include a selection of specialty, gourmet and vegan items.
The Food City Floral Boutique, staffed with a designer seven days a week, offers a full assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets and gift items.
Rapid checkout service is provided by six traditional lanes and 10 self-checkouts. Curbside pick-up and home delivery are available.
The store also includes a Food City Pharmacy with a drive-thru, Food City Gas N’ Go and a Starbucks cafe.
It also 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-percent LED lighting.
“Our customers can expect to find exceptional customer service and top-quality products at the lowest possible prices, along with great variety/selection and some exciting new services,” Smith said.
