So, What Is South Point Grocery? A Look Inside the Silo Store

If you’ve driven through Silo Square and spotted South Point Grocery, you’ve probably wondered what kind of store it is.

The answer is simple. It’s a full-service neighborhood grocery built for everyday life. But once you walk through the doors, you realize it’s more than shelves and checkout lanes. It’s a place designed with intention, shaped by food, and grounded in community.

The Silo Square location carries the same spirit that started in Downtown Memphis. Thoughtful selection. Strong departments. A space that feels comfortable instead of overwhelming.

Here’s what you’ll find inside.

Produce at Peak Freshness

From everyday staples like onions, potatoes, peppers, greens, and tomatoes to seasonal items that shift throughout the year, the produce section is full of colorful fruits and vegetables.

This is where most weekly carts begin. Ingredients for pasta night. Vegetables for roasting. Salad fixings for lunches. It feels practical, but it also feels curated. Nothing overdone. Nothing chaotic.

The produce department makes it easy to build meals from scratch or add something fresh to what you already have planned.

Orange juice is squeezed and poured into individual bottles daily to emphasize peak freshness with no additives. Fruit is cut daily to give you a convenient and fresh grab-and-go selection.

A Full-Service Meat Counter

The meat department is one of the anchors of the store.

Instead of rows of only prepackaged trays, there’s a staffed counter offering quality cuts and everyday proteins. Steaks for grilling. Chicken for weeknight dinners. Ground beef for tacos or chili. Pork for slow cooking.

A full-service meat counter changes how people shop. You can ask questions. You can choose specific cuts. You can build dinner around what looks best that day.

It gives the store a sense of care that feels hands-on.

The Deli: Built Like a Real Sandwich Shop

The deli at South Point Silo has its own identity inside the store.

Led by Chef Josh McLane, the sandwich shop brings a layer of personality that makes people stop in even when groceries are not the main goal.

Rick’s Reuben is stacked with pastrami, sauerkraut, and an olive blend, finished with house-made Russian dressing on rye bread. The olive blend adds depth, giving the classic structure a little edge.

The Heels layers bacon, provolone, hot sauce, peanut butter, and strawberry roasted jalapeño preserves onto a French roll. It balances sweet, salty, and heat in a way that feels bold but thoughtful.

The Grinder brings capicola, salami, pesto, tomato, banana peppers, provolone, vinegar, and oil together on a French roll. It’s layered, sharp, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

The bread has texture. The ingredients are deliberate. Each sandwich feels assembled with attention.

Having this kind of deli inside a grocery store shifts the rhythm of the space. Some people come in for lunch and leave with groceries. Others grab ingredients and add a sandwich on the way out. It makes everyday errands more than something to check off your to-do list.

Grocery Essentials That Cover the Week

Beyond the specialty departments, South Point Silo functions as a true full-service grocery store.

You’ll find dairy, eggs, bread, frozen foods, canned goods, snacks, pantry staples, and household essentials. The items that keep kitchens moving throughout the week.

You won’t have to run to the closest big-box grocery store after South Point. It’s possible to shop a full list in one trip. That matters for a neighborhood store. Convenience is part of the design.

The layout feels manageable. Nothing is hidden. Nothing feels excessive. It’s structured in a way that supports both quick stops and full stock-ups.

Beer and Local Products

The beer section adds another layer to the experience.

Local craft options sit alongside familiar favorites. The selection works for casual dinners, porch nights, or small gatherings. It feels thoughtful without feeling overwhelming.

Throughout the store, you’ll also find local products woven into the shelves. Sauces, snacks, specialty items that connect back to the region. Those details tie the Silo Square store to the larger Memphis roots of South Point Grocery.

Grab & Go for Busy Days

Not every visit is planned a week in advance.

Some days call for grab-and-go meals, prepared items, or quick solutions between work and home. South Point makes room for that.

You can stop in for lunch, pick up dinner ingredients, and leave without feeling rushed. The store supports both kinds of days.

A Store That Fits Its Community

South Point Grocery in Silo Square works because it functions as a complete grocery store while still feeling personal. It’s a shopping experience built uniquely for you.

You can build a week’s worth of meals from the produce and meat departments. You can grab a sandwich that feels carefully made. You can pick up pantry essentials, local products, and something to drink for the evening.

It’s steady. It’s intentional. It’s built for the people who shop there regularly.

After a few visits, it stops feeling like a new store in the neighborhood. It starts feeling like part of the routine.

And that’s usually when you know a grocery store has found its place.

The Complete Memphis Summer Produce Guide

Your wallet and tastebuds will thank you if you know what produce is in season at your local grocery store. Although it is possible to find most types of produce all year round, their taste is incomparable when they are in season, and often when produce is in season, it is available at a lower price. For example, a tomato in the middle of winter cannot match the juicy and vibrant taste of a tomato in the summer.
