ABOUT US
In 1954, with money on loan from his father, Wayne Gott opened his first store as Gott's General Store in Bradleyville, located in Southwest Missouri. In February of 1962, Mr. Gott and his wife, Betty, moved to Salem, Missouri to open the first Town & Country Supermarket. In May 1962, the store became incorporated as Town & Country Super Market, Inc., and more stores were added over the years. Mr. Gott prided himself on providing friendly customer service, while offering a wide variety of products and services, all at low prices. In addition, the stores took pride in becoming integral members of their communities.
The Gotts would be joined by their son, Dennis, in the late 1970s. Dennis held a variety of positions, eventually becoming the company's President & CEO in 1999. With Dennis' leadership, the company grew to have 21 locations in South-Central Missouri, while keeping the same tradition of providing friendly customer service and low prices that his father started. In 2012, Wayne Gott was inducted in the Missouri Grocers Association Hall of Fame.
In 2015, the company built and opened a new 48,000-square-foot store located in Rolla, MO that became one of Wayne and Dennis' proudest achievements. In July 2016, Dennis passed away unexpectedly at the age of 64.
After Dennis' untimely passing, his daughter, Amber, and her husband, Joe Polizzi, have continued the family business, with Joe assuming the role of President & CEO, after previously serving as Vice President & General Counsel since 2011. In 2018, Dennis Gott was inducted in the Missouri Grocers Association Hall of Fame. Wayne Gott passed away in November 2021 at the age of 90.
More than 60 years after opening its first store, Town & Country remains family-owned and focused on providing quality products, friendly service, and support for the communities it proudly serves. Today, approximately 1,200 associates help carry on that tradition while serving customers across 28 Missouri communities and two Arkansas communities.
