Curt's Ace opens in Va.
Food City officials recently celebrated grand opening of the company's new Curt’s Ace Hardware on E. Stuart Drive in Galax, Va. The location marks the retailer’s 14th Curt’s Ace Hardware location.
“Much like our Food City stores, we are excited to continue to grow and expand our Curt’s Ace Hardware family of stores,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. “Having served in the grocery industry for 40+ years, I have seen firsthand how important a local well-run supermarket is to the community, and I think the same holds true for local hardware stores.”
The company currently operates Curt’s Ace Hardware locations in Prestonsburg, Ky.; Morristown, Pigeon Forge, Newport, Erwin, Elizabethton, Gray, Piney Flats, and Ocoee, Tenn.; and Bristol, Abingdon, Marion, and Lebanon, Va., with additional locations coming soon.
“We greatly appreciate the support of our loyal customers, and we want to leverage our Curt’s Ace Hardware brand to better serve the communities where we already do business,” says Smith.
Headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, K-VA-T Food Stores (Food City’s parent company) operates 159 retail outlets throughout southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, east Tennessee, north Georgia and Alabama.
