The new Red Food store in

the Summerville-Trion Op

areas.

Hill's Pure Food Store, and in
1923 it became Hill's Red
Store. By 1942, T. Grady

France, according to Weesner,
who said the company targeted
a small grocery store chain to
build into a chain similar to
Kroger, Safeway, etc.
EUROPE
The company owns 4,427
stores in most of Europe, in
cluding France, Spain, Por
tugal, Greece, Germany, and a
soon-to-be-opened store in
Hong Kong. They have annual
sales of $24 billion. Sixty Red
Food stores are located in the
United States and post about
$6lO million in annual sales.
“The U.S. company has
doubled since 1980, Weesner
explained, addinfi that there
are plans for another doubling.
SALE
After Weesner spoke Fri
day, Red Food Stores Inc. an
nounced that Koninklijke
Ahold NV, a Dutch con
glomerate, was buying Red
Food. The deal is expected to
be completed in April.
The U. S. Red Food stores
are being bought from Pro
modes Inc., a French con
glomerate, which bought the
Red Store chain in 1980.
Ahold NV already owns the
184-store Bi-Lo chain grocery
stores headquartered in Green
ville, S. C., which reported an
nual sales of $2-billion.
Red Food stores in the U. S.

square feet of sales floor, its

5,700 em]}),loyees, Weesner said.
He showed Optimists a

Summerville store that he said
is expected to open before
Easter.
““The older store is about 20
years old and has 20,000
square feet,”” Weesner
explained.
MORE SPACE
- ““The new store will offer
more of everything,” he said.
““It will have roughly a 40,000
square feet sales area, two
times the produce sEace, two
times the meat market stpace
with a pre-packaged seafood,
more general merchandise,
health and beauty care pro
duce, and a full line — 32 feet
— of seasonal merchandise.
The store will offer three
times the dairy and frozen food
space, and a 4,000-video video
center comparable to
Blockbuster, with videos ren
tin%vfor 97 cents.
eesner also discussed the
addition of 24-hour film
develo};l)ing in the store.
“The new store will stock
40,000 items, compared to the
older store which stocks
20,000,” he said. ‘‘We will have
a full line of J)rivate label mer
chandise and a full line of club
pack merchandise.”
He said it will be a ‘“‘user
friendly”’ store, with wider
aisles, motorized carts for the
handicapped, nine staffed
check out {,anes, and a state-of
the-art IBM computerized
price scanning cash registers.
The new facility also will of
fer mom‘ek; orders, postage
stam;')}, estern Union ser

well as its normal check
cashing service.
The facility will not allow
smoking.
Its hours will be 7 a.m. to 11
