About US

A man working at the Local Market in Strawberry Plains Tennessee.

We love our loyal neighbors, and it's always been our goal to promote that friendly local neighborhood feel when you walk through our doors. Your community matters, and that's why we want to help build it up and provide the best local conveniences available.

In a world full of technology, sometimes the value of personal interaction can get lost... But our stores emphasize both along with an already great product selection to create a thriving atmosphere. Visit one of our locations, your Local Market.

We take pride in our stores from the clean restrooms to our friendly team members. You can count on us for anything from your favorite snacks and candy to fresh sandwiches, mouthwatering BBQ, and coffee. Many of our stores have a quality foodservice program and a fully-equipped kitchen to satisfy your cravings at the next level. While you are fueling up with us, be sure to shop our wide variety of alcohol and tobacco too. We have all you'll need for the day ahead!
