History……………………….

In 1974 Michael Tullock was still in high school when he
decided to launch his own business “The Bargain Barn”
which was located in the back of his parents’ antique
shop in Etowah, Tenn.

While Tullock’s parents Doug and Carol drove the family
station wagon to the Stokely-Van Camp plant to
purchase cases of canned goods, Michael was busy
minding the store after school. Within a few weeks,
Tullock’s grocery business had driven out the antiques.
With $1,000 allotted by his parents the business was off
and running.


37 years and 35 stores later Michael Tullock is the
CEO of a growing chain. The corporate charter of
Bargain Barn, Inc. still remains today but has
developed store names of United Grocery Outlet and
the most recent acquisition of GO Grocery Outlet
stores in North Carolina.

We currently employ 700 associates in 5 states:
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky,
and North Carolina.

In the closeout business, Tullock said he can buy
shipments of quality food, produce and meat that
manufactures may have overbought or discontinued.
“It’s definitely a niche market. We’re not trying to go
head-to-head with the big guys, but we’re more flexible,”
he said.
“Customers like the surprise factor,” “They like to find a
product at a good price. They often ask when our trucks
are coming in.”
Jeanne Hix of Fletcher N.C. has been a regular
customer at both the Skyland and Hendersonville
locations of Grocery Outlet. Feeding a family of four,
she’s been able to whittle her grocery bill down to about
$300 a month. “I really load up,” Hix said
