Investment Overview

Gerald Taylor and Raymond Johnson are two gentlemen, who are making a difference in many people’s lives as independent operators in the metropolitan Atlanta market. In March, 1975, they purchased their first supermarket in Stockbridge, Georgia, formerly known as Kenney’s Market. The Food Depot name and concept arrived on the scene in late 1988. The Conyers, Georgia store was the first unit converted to the Cost Plus 10% format. From Conyers, the company continued to convert the stores to the Food Depot Cost Plus 10% concept. The last store was converted in February, 2004, when the Newnan store was relocated. Today, Food Depot is an Employee Owned company that serves their customer base with 41 stores, which has expanded outside the Atlanta Metropolitan area to include stores in West Georgia, Columbus, Dublin and Macon areas.
