Tracing our history back to an original store in Coldwater, Mississippi in 1947, Fred’s has been a part of the fabric of communities in the Southeast for over 70 years. Fred’s success was built upon offering a broader assortment of quality merchandise at lower prices than a typical drug or dollar store, combined with a more convenient shopping experience than big box retailers. Additionally, Fred’s carried a variety of closeout merchandise at prices not found anywhere else. By getting back to our heritage and combining the value and convenience of a hometown discount store with the excitement associated with a “treasure hunt” for great closeout deals, we can differentiate ourselves and give customers a reason to spend their money with us.
