We are proud to announce the return of Food City as the presenting sponsor of the Food City Cooking School Stage at Women Today. Visit Food City's Cooking School Stage throughout the weekend to see celebrities from Food Network, Top Chef and local chefs!

K-V-A-T Food Stores, Inc. is the corporate name of a supermarket chain operating in three states under the name Food City. This privately held, family-owned company has grown over the years by expansion and acquisition. K-V-A-T is an acronym of its trade area: Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee. The 94-store chain serves a current trade area population of over 2.5 million people and over 980,000 households. The company also operates nine Super Dollar Discount Foods limited assortment locations. The company has also grown steadily by expansion into new areas, filling in gaps in the trade area with new units and always remodeling and replacing current units to stay on the cutting edge of grocery technology, product selection and consumer demand.

K-V-A-T Food Stores also follows national marketing trends. "In the last several years," Steve Smith, President and CEO said, "we have branched out into the pharmacy and fuel businesses." The company has 75 pharmacies and 56 fuel stations. The company is very community-oriented and involved in local efforts as well as Food City initiatives like Apples for the Students, in which the company has donated over 11 million dollars in equipment to schools in the K-V-A-T trade area. Food City also partners with farmers in Southwest VA and Northeast TN to bring local produce to its customers which helps local farmers and satisfies customer demand. The Food City name has also become synonymous with NASCAR racing in the area with it's sponsorship of two of the sport's most popular races, the Food City 500 and Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway. As the second longest running sponsor in NASCAR, Food City has also contributed over half a million dollars to local organizations through its annual Family Race Night events.
