Earl Freudenberg: David Leatherwood Retires After 52 Years In The Grocery Business Monday, February 15, 2021 - by Earl Freudenberg
David Leatherwood
David Leatherwood is retiring from the Food City in Hixson at the end of the month. David has helped feed our families for 52 years. He started with the Red Food Store while still a student at Hixson High School and went from bag boy to manager.
My father Charles was a regular customer at the Rivermont Store. Dad, who was in the grocery business in North Chattanooga for years, said Mr. Leatherwood was one of the last old fashion grocery store managers. Mr. Leatherwood was always interested in my father’s experiences in the food store business. Dad said Mr. Leatherwood would greet each customer with a smile and “is there anything I can help you with?”
