I don’t remember White Stores being those other two between becoming Food City. I think that Food Lion became Red Food and Bi-Lo. The Bi-Lo spot at Peters and KP was later a Food City iirc. But I think that Food City might have just taken over the space.
maybe they weren’t bought out, just new stores moved in? The one I remember was on clinton hwy. its now a food city, but i coulda swore it was a Bi-Lo at one point.
Either way, i grew up in south knox. Our options were Cas Walkers and Winn-Dixie
I licked a lot of those Green Stamps when I was a kid.I spent a lot of my allowance money at White Way buying comic books and Topps baseball cards (with that horrible stick of gum). The big SweeTarts were favorites as well.
I can remember White Stores up through the 80s. One at Cumberland Estates at least around to 85-86.
In the Cumberland Estates strip centerWayward- where was that White Store located?
The Food City in the Cumberland Estates Center strip mall closed last year. FC had built a new location up at Schaad Rd and Oak Ridge Hwy. Cumberland Estates lost their Krogers a number of years ago, so that FC was the last grocery left in the area.
When I would visit my grandparents in Knoxville in the 60's we would go to the green stamp store somewhere on Kingston pike and use our green stamps andI licked a lot of those Green Stamps when I was a kid.
*The White Store in Clinton changed to a Food City sometime in the 80s. Food City built a new building in the same location a few years ago

it seems to me that is was maybe near the crispy cream donut place, or somewhere close by there.
As a kid mom would take us to Green Stamp store and then if I remember right there was a bakery in the shopping center. Mom sometimes would buy a cake or some sweets.It was in the corner of Bearden Center (White Store/Food City). A block east of Northshore Drive at KP. Top Value was about a mile to 2 miles west on Kingston Pike before the Gallery and West Town. Between the Deane Hill and West Hills neighborhoods. Both buildings are still there.
