The history of Staggs Grocery

A view of the front of Staggs Grocery with hours available on the door (Bess Christopher/ The Bama Buzz)

Staggs Grocery was opened in 1937 by Florence native, Wesley Staggs. When the establishment first opened it was a small grocery store to supply the area with basic goods. Since then, Staggs has shifted into a beloved restaurant serving delicious breakfast and lunch.

The original charm of Staggs still stands, and it still remains a family owned business.
