We are a highly reputable closeout grocery merchant buying and selling almost anything found in a supermarket.

We specialize in handling inventory imbalances, closeouts, packaging changes, close-dated products, factory seconds, and trial-run products. From our distribution center in Athens, Tennessee, we operate retail outlets in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, and Alabama.

Over the past forty years we have built a solid reputation with many of the nation’s leading producers. Some of the reasons for that reputation are:

• We provide quick, effective, and efficient answers to their product problems.
• We move a tremendous amount of their product through our retail outlets quietly and discreetly. This enables the producer to move out the problem product without having it resurface later and disrupting its normal channels of distribution.
• We honor all suppliers’ wishes concerning the marketing of their product.
• We carefully display their product in our neat, clean, and spacious stores.
• We pay as high a price as possible to minimize the producers’ loss, if any, as long as we can pass on significant savings to our customers.
• We reply promptly to all offers from producers and always pay as agreed.

Please check us out thoroughly. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
