Super Foods and Gene Lawrence are synonymous with Tallassee.
Look around and signs of the grocery store can be seen all round town. From its two locations to sponsoring numerous community functions, Lawrence and SuperFoods have supported Tallassee for decades. The generosity and service earned Lawrence the Tallassee Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award. Friend and employee Michael Bird introduced Lawrence to everyone at the annual chamber awards banquet. Corrie Sid and Grove Station would be awarded business of the year. Bob and Pat Reed were given the Frances H. Wagnon Volunteer of the Year Award.
