Top-10 Reasons for Shopping at Superlo Foods
Justin Fox Burks
What makes Las Delicias guacamole so wonderful? Avocados, lime juice, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapenos.
How much do I love Superlo Foods in East Memphis? Let me count down the ways:
10. Superlo is located so close to my house that Tony rides his bike there to shop.
9. I can stop by The Wine Market without moving my car. (New favorite $11 bottle: a red blend from California called Fleur de Lyeth.)
8. The security guard bags groceries when the store gets busy.
7. Cigarettes are so cheap that I wish I was still a smoker.
6. The produce guys grab new lettuce from the back if the head is I want is looking a little wilted.
5. I save at least $10 a bag for groceries compared to Kroger.
4. The store's great prices extend to its excellent selection of beer, including a six-pack of Peroni for $7.99.
3. Superlo has many of the specialty and organic groceries I need, including Fage Greek yogurt and San Marzano tomatoes, crushed, diced or whole.
2. Santitas white corn chips ($1.88) and house-made salsa are a fresh and delicious companion to the number one reason I love Superlo Foods:
1. The stellar (and locally made) guacamole from Las Delicias stacked in the deli case. I'm working my way through the second container this week.
Memphis Stew is a food blog that celebrates our city’s community table and the people who grow, cook, and eat Memphis food. It is written by Pamela Denney, food editor of Memphis magazine, who sees food as a delicious way to build families, friendships, and a more healthy and sustainable future.
And don't forget the super nice people working there. ALWAYS ready to help and they will atempt to order something for if they don't stock it. I've been told by a manager that they are trying to negotiate a better rent for the old Schnucks store at Poplar and Forrest Hill Irene. I sure hope it happens.
You are so right! And don't you love the manager's announcements over the loudspeaker about the store's sale items? Pam
I found my "hard to find" organic carrot juice!! I LOVE SuperLo Foods. Don't let the name fool you. Sure, they have low prices, but nothing lo about the quality of goods and services. SuperLo is MY place to shop!
So what's the carrot juice brand? Please share.

Additionally, they carry Tom's Tiny Kitchen Pimento Cheese, another great local product!
They also sell grass fed meat from West Wind Farm! Check the freezer case next to the bison. And they have West Wind free range eggs in the dairy case. LOVE being able to get Kimberly's excellent products out east.
I can't believe I've missed Tom's Pimento Cheese. Maybe that's a good thing because once I open the package, there's no stopping me. And thank you for the reminder about West Wind Farm. My top-10 list is heading toward top-20! - Memphis Stew
