Food Depot Corporate Office

Food Depot

Food Depot was founded in 1975 in Stockbridge, Georgia, by two friends, Gerald Taylor and Raymond Johnson, when the pair bought Kenny’s supermarket by mortgaging their homes.

History

Today, Food Depot operates 25 stores in Georgia. The company is owned by All American Quality Foods, Inc., but does business under the Food Depot name. This chain of supermarkets prides itself on selling items at 10% over cost as often as possible.

The company continues to expand and has plans to put stores outside of Georgia in the near future. The company has approximately 1,500 full-time employees. Food Depot’s concept of selling items just above cost is not a new one, but this company has been able to continue this tradition after most other companies have abandoned it.

In April 2019, one former employee filed a workplace sexual harassment lawsuit against the company, saying that she was sexually harassed by her manager, but the company failed to do anything about her complaints.

Polly’s Pies Corporate Office

Polly's Pies

Polly’s Pies was founded in 1968 in Fullerton, California, by brothers Don and Ed Sheldrake. The name Polly’s was used because the first location had front door handles which were shaped like the letter P. Rather than buy new door handles, the brothers decided to simply make a company name that suited it. Polly was the name of the manager’s newborn daughter. The original name was Polly’s Tasty Food and Pies, but this was later shortened to simply Polly’s Pies.

The company operates a chain of restaurants whose focus is pies. The company currently has 16 locations, all in California, along with 14 KFC franchises. Polly’s Pies also offers hamburgers, sandwiches, coleslaw, salads, and, of course, pies.

Polly’s Pies differs from many other similar restaurants in that almost everything is made by hand with fresh ingredients. The company offers a gluten free menu, as well as weekly specials and online coupons.
