Company officials on Thursday announced plans to construct a new Food City on West Walnut Avenue in Dalton.  The 48,600+ square foot supermarket will include a wide variety of product selections and services in a convenient, easy to shop format, said officials.  The Dalton Food City is expected to open fall of 2018 and will serve as the area’s second location.     

“The Dalton area residents have certainly been supportive of our company and we’re extremely excited to have the opportunity to provide our loyal customers with a new, state-of-the-art Food City,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.  

The location includes an in-store bakery/deli, complete with a hot food bar, large café seating area, pizzeria and deluxe fresh food bar, featuring a variety of soup, wings, salad and fruit selections.  Full service meat and seafood departments offer pre-marinated and seasoned oven ready products, plus a selection of 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 beyond the normal fare with a selection of gourmet, international and specialty items.  The Food City Floral Boutique is staffed with a designer seven days per week, offering an assortment of fresh-cut floral arrangements, bouquets, gift items and more.  Rapid checkout service is provided by seven traditional check-out lanes and four self-check-outs.  

For added convenience, the store will also include a Food City Pharmacy offering a full range of services and 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. 

“Our customers will find the same exceptional customer service, top quality products and competitive pricing they have come to expect from Food City, housed in a more energy efficient model, along with some exciting new features and conveniences,” said Mr. Smith.
