Food City stores will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., effective immediately, with the first hour (7-8 a.m.) designated for customers 65 and older, as well as customers with underlying health conditions, to shop to avoid busier shopping periods.
The shorter day will give staff additional time to clean, sanitize and restock.
On Tuesday, Food City announced plans to hire 2,500 additional associates to assist many of our friends, neighbors and area students who are currently seeking employment. Interested persons can apply online at FoodCityCareers.com or visit any Food City store to complete an employment application.
Both full- and part-time jobs are available including cashiers, courtesy clerks, day/night stockers, as well as skilled positions such as meat cutters, cake decorators and retail management. As a growing, family-owned and operated company, Food City offers competitive pay and a solid benefits package.
We are working diligently to maintain stock levels to service our customers and are in constant communication with supply chain teams.
We encourage you to continue to monitor this evolving situation and closely follow the CDC recommendation and guidelines. Visit coronavirus.gov for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
