New Food City location in Madison County

One of this week’s building permits is for a Food City location in the Huntsville area, located at 150 Old Gurley Road NE. This is one of six new Food City locations planned for Madison County.

Here are a few quick facts about Food City and these new stores in Huntsville:

  • Food City will invest $90 million to build the six new stores in Huntsville.
  • The stores will create 1,350 jobs over the next five years.
  • The City of Huntsville will provide cost reimbursements up to $9 million (total for all six locations opened) in sales tax to offset a portion of the company’s infrastructure costs incurred for construction of the six locations.
  • Projected revenues calculate a two-year return on investment for the City (or projected revenues indicate the city will recover its investment within two years).  
  • The company will not qualify for any cost reimbursements until all new stores in Huntsville are completed and open to the public.
