Food City’s legacy as a leading food retailer began in 1955 when founder Jack C. Smith opened the first store in Grundy, Va.

The company has also grown steadily by expanding into new areas, filling in gaps in the trade area with new units and always remodeling and replacing current units to stay on the cutting edge of grocery technology, product selection and consumer demand. Always an active presence in their stores’ communities, Food City returns this year as the Cooking School sponsor at Women Today, bringing culinary experts and exciting presentations to attendees throughout the weekend.
