Stepherson, Inc. is a family owned and operated business founded by the Stepherson brothers (Jack, Wesley, and Kenneth) in 1944. We have served the Memphis community continuously since our founding seeking to bring forth the highest levels of quality, service, and selection at the lowest prices possible. The company has grown from a single location, through success and failure to our current form. We operate six Superlo Foods locations and one Stepherson's location.
We have served the East Memphis area since 1948 when we bought our first location in the White Station area. Since then we have occupied locations at Poplar-Perkins,and Poplar-Colonial. We built our current location at 4744 Spottswood near Colonial in 1981.
We have been in the Macon Road and Graham Street area since 1950 when our first location was built. Our current location at 3942 Macon Road was built in 1960.
We began the expansion of our Superlo Foods concept in 2000 when we purchased the former Mega Market location on Covington Pike and reopened as Superlo Foods #2.
We expanded to North Memphis in 2002 when we purchased a former Piggly Wiggly location at 3327 North Watkins. We reopened this location as Superlo Foods #3.
Our next expansion was to the Hickory Hill community. In August of 2009, we re-opened a former Kroger location at Kirby and Winchester.
In October of 2010, Stepherson, Inc. became an Employee Owned Corporation with the formation of our Employee Stock Ownership Program. All of our employees now have the opportunity to become part owners of the business.
We expanded to Mississippi in February, 2012 when we opened a former Schnuck's location on Goodman Road in Southaven, MS as Superlo Foods #5.
In October of 2014, we continued our growth in Memphis with Superlo Foods #6 by purchasing a long time neighbor, Cooper's neighborhood store on Quince Road.
