Original Food City Closed

Post by wrallen99 »

This article came out about one of the Food City locations that Bashas is closing. It is the original Food City.

The store opened under a different name in 1935 and changed to Food City in 1940. It was bought by Bashas' in 1993.

The article has memories shared by people that have shopped at it over the years:

It's a miracle it stayed open as long as it did. The city of Phoenix bought up alot of the houses over the years eroding the customer base in the general area.
