Shoppers push carts down the aisle on the first day of business for the new Food City grocery store Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015, in Red Bank, Tenn. The store, formerly a Bi-Lo at the intersection of Morrison Springs Road and Dayton Boulevard, was reopened after a three-day turnaround. Six more former Bi-Lo stores will open as Food City supermarkets in the Chattanooga area later this week, according to the Abingdon, Va., grocer.
