“Mom and Pop” Hilltop CB Foods Is Community Friendly
January 9, 2012
Clarksville, TN – It’s a sad reality in our society. “Mom and Pop” stores of every kind are struggling to keep their doors open against their big box competitors. One store that is bucking this trend is the Hilltop CB Supermarket at 400 Highway 149. This locally owned and operated grocery store still has freshly butchered meat daily and runs sales that make it worth driving the extra few miles to take advantage of.
Wayne Hall opened the original Hilltop Supermarket, in a 5,000 square-feet building, across the street from its current location in 1967. In 1990, when the new store (then 12,000 square feet) opened where it now stands, Mr. Hall convinced his brother-in-law, Mike Jackson, to become store manager. Mike is still handling the day-to-day operations for the store which provides 50 jobs to the local economy.
New Year’s Resolution—Eat at Woody’s Pizza!
January 4, 2012
Clarksville, TN – I know that you are cringing with guilt over all the delicious food you ate at Christmas and New Year’s parties, but the fact remains—you aren’t going to lose the extra pounds overnight. The only real diet that works is to cut back a little each day and exercise more.
That being said, I’ve found the greatest location for having a wonderful feast whether or not you are dieting. It’s called Woody’s Pizza. Rumor has it that the first location was Erin and then another opened in Dover. The perfection of the food demanded a move to where even more people could sample the scrumptious offerings.

Clarksville, TN – Tired of seeing ten or twelve of the same dress whenever you shop? If so, Rogate’s Boutique at 115 Franklin Street in Historic Downtown Clarksville should be your next shopping destination.
By the way, the proper pronunciation is “row-gah-teh’s” not “row-gate’s” (rhyming with “too late”). The name of the store is the first name of Rogate Hadley, the store’s owner. Her Swiss parents chose an Italian name for her, hence the pronunciation.
