Food City is launching an innovative new platform designed to assist customers in purchasing items typically not found in traditional supermarkets.
Food City’s Ship to Home service enables customers to shop for hard-to-find items online and have them delivered to their door by FedEx. With nearly 30,000 available items, customers can choose from categories including pet care, pantry staples, refrigerated and frozen foods, beverages and more.
“Food City was one of the first retailers in our market to offer online ordering and curbside pick-up. We’re excited to launch our new Ship to Home service,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer.
www.FoodCityShips.com boasts an extensive inventory from over 1,000 food manufacturers. Customers can explore a diverse range of offerings, including over 700 gluten-free items, 2,000 natural and specialty items, 700 sauces, herbs, spices and seasonings, 500 desserts, 2,000 candy and snack items and over 15,000 restaurant-grade items.
