Food City officials say they’re taking customer service one step further by adding curbside grocery pickup at select stores across the Southeast, including four stores in the greater Chattanooga area.

Starting next Monday, the first Food City will roll out curbside pickup. Stores in Hixson, Red Bank, Ooltewah and Cleveland will be among those stores that premiere the service.

Kevin Stafford, vice president of marketing at Virginia-based Food City, said company officials settled on the first curbside pickup stores through back-and-forth talks with regional and local managers.

“We tried to pick some stores that would be in some good locations, that would give the customers a chance to try the program out,” he said.
