🌱 Free Flu Vaccinations Next Week + New Food City Location

Hello again, neighbors! I'm back with your new copy of the Chattanooga Daily. Let's get this weekend started off right, with a quick review of the most important things going on in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and chilly. High: 50 Low: 27.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Chattanooga who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Chattanooga today:

1. The Hamilton County Health Department will start offering free flu vaccinations next week. The vaccinations will be offered to anyone ages six months and older starting on Monday, Nov. 21. There is no need to make an appointment to receive the flu vaccinations. Click for the county's flu information report. (Chattanooga Pulse)
2. Representatives from three Chattanooga families joined the Nashville DEA for a local Family Summit on Wednesday. The event included over 30 families from Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The purpose of the event is to work together to prevent others from experiencing the loss of loved ones to drug overdoses. Participants shared information, built connections, and fostered collaboration during the Family Summit. (Chattanoogan.com)
3. Virginia-based Food City has broken ground on a new location in Chattanooga. The 53,300-square-foot supermarket will be located at 1375 Broad Street. It will likely open in late summer of 2023, according to Food City. The location will feature an in-store bakery, deli, Asian wok, hot food bar, and sushi bar. (Winsight Grocery Business)
