Wondering how they could make this venture happen, they talked to Burl’s sister Sarah and brother-in-law Nick from San Antonio, TX. After spending much of his career in welding, Nick had returned to the food service industry he so loved and had most recently been working at LongHorn Steak House for the past four years. Sarah works in the health care industry and will continue to do so for the next few years. Burl had run his own controls automation company for the past nine years, and Annette had spent the last 25 years of her career in various positions as a CPA at CenterPoint Energy. With Burl’s business expertise, Annette’s financial expertise and Nick’s restaurant expertise, they felt they had a winning combination. After much prayer and numerous discussions with Sarah & Nick, they were on board and joined with Annette & Burl in their Cajun venture. Both Burl & Nick were born in Mississippi and spent time living in Louisiana, so they know good ole Cajun food when they taste it! Not finding any suitable real estate in Buena Vista, Burl & Annette turned their sights to Salida first. After many trips there, they found a building on Highway 50 that they thought would be perfect! Nick & Sarah flew up from San Antonio, and the deal was sealed!  Read less

Food City actually dates back to 1918 when a store was opened in Greeneville, Tennessee, but K-VA-T Food Stores’ official beginning took place in 1955 when founder Jack C. Smith--with his father, Curtis and uncle, Earl--opened the first store in Grundy, Virginia. Since that time, Food City has grown in leaps through the acquisition of several Piggly Wiggly operations in Southwest Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, along with Quality Foods/Food City, White Stores, Winn Dixie and BI-LO units in east Tennessee. The company has also grown steadily by expansion into new market areas while remodeling and replacing existing locations as needed to best serve their customers.  Read less
