History
Jr. Food Stores was founded in 1968 by the Reeves family of Bowling Green, Kentucky, which operated a handful of larger supermarkets in their hometown. The supermarkets later closed, and in May 1998 the Reeves family sold the convenience stores to their former cross-town competitor Houchens Industries, who operate smaller supermarkets in towns and cities surrounding Bowling Green.
