Book about Food City

Post by drpep »

Someone mentioned a book about Meijers. This reminded me that I had purchased a book at a Food City supermarket in Galax, Virginia when I pass through in 2006. It is titled "A Grocer and His Dream" (I think, the book is in storage now). It chronicles the history of Jack Smith, founder of the chain. It includes pictures of the chain throughout it's history. If anyone is passing through the chain's territory (southwest VA, eastern KY and eastern TN) you may still find it for sale.
