Thanks to Mike Moon for this photo of Zack’s Food Town in McDonough. Sherry Carmichael wrote, “This photo shows Zack’s Food Town (later becoming Zack’s Big Buy). The Upchurch home and the First National Bank branch are in the distance.” Anthony Lester and Mark Parker wrote, “The Food Town store was before Zack’s. The old Sutton House in the distance has been torn down.” Major Nail with the Henry County Police called in to identify the photo of Food Town and added, “this was my first job in high school around 1959-60. I helped Zack when he opened the business. It started as a Red Dot Store. I walked a lot of miles in that parking lot.”
