Just a few months after Rural King opened a new store in Saraland, the company will soon be bringing another location to Alabama.
The City of Gadsden took to social media this week to announce its first Rural King, marking the store’s seventh location across the state.
The new store will be located in the Gregerson’s Midtown Center, the former home of the Cash Saver grocery store.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for Gadsden. Not only are we bringing in one of the fastest-growing businesses in the Southeast, but it’s also a chance to bring new life to one of our major downtown shopping areas.”
Craig Ford, Gadsden mayor
