Owner Kristy Willey creates all of the recipes. She is the oldest of five kids and cooked for her family a lot growing up. She strives to make delicious homemade meals “like your grandma used to make”, to give busy families the chance to enjoy dinner together. “People don’t have time to cook like they used to,” says Willey. “We try to make it easy so people can grab meals on their way home from school, work, or sports practice, and enjoy a sit-down dinner together in a matter of minutes.”

Kristy and her husband, Jesse, are the former owners of The Pantry Shoppe in Greenwood, which was originally started by Jesse’s mother. They ran the store for about 11 years before they sold it and took some time off. You can read more about the history of the Pantry Shoppe here.

“This is a fresh start for us and a totally different store than the Pantry Shoppe,” says Kristy. “While we’re still making some of the things we’re well known for, like chicken pot pies and casseroles, we’ve worked hard to curate a whole new selection of take & bake meals and specialty items for the market. There aren’t many grocery stores in Fountain Inn, so we are excited and proud to fill this need in the community.”

Fountain Foods Market is located at 209 S. Main Street in downtown Fountain Inn. Store hours are 9:30am-6pm, Tuesday-Saturday.
