Food City sounds way more ghetto and white trashy than it actually is. Stores are actually pretty nice. They are a big deal in east Tennessee.

Yeah. Bi-Lo was usually the ghetto store. Kroger and FC are virtually the same. Both have some great stores and both have some average ones. E. TN just doesn't have a lot of poor grocers. Rural shoppers go into town and urban areas were never as segregated as the deep south.
