In 1965, we opened our very first store in the Five Points neighborhood of Athens, Georgia to provide area residents and UGA college students with easy access to everyday goods. Our flagship store and landmark sign still remain. From the very beginning, our founders made it their top priority to offer the very highest level of service possible. This single-minded approach pervades to this day, through each and every Golden Pantry Food Store that we operate. Golden Pantry Food Stores: Eat. Drink. Be Golden.
