SCAFF'S, INC.
LAKE CITY, FLORIDA

It started with newlyweds taking a leap of faith. The year was 1961, and Lester and Anne Scaff had recently purchased a small market on the north side of US 41 in Lake City from J.R. Tison, who was recently elected as the mayor of the small Southern town. Little did the young couple know that their lives and their young business were about to grow into a life of happiness. As the years went on, they purchased a few more stores, and their knowledge grew as each day presented new challenges. With the introduction of gas pumps, their small business quickly grew into a small group of convenience stores. As competition picked up, so did the Scaff’s and quickly became the area’s first choice for quality gasoline and merchandise, all served up with the best in customer service. The 1980’s came and went, and the Scaff’s continued to grow. They expanded into additional surrounding counties and quickly became a leading employer in the counties they served. Their commitment to serving the communities they belonged to became evident with many fundraising activities and charitable contributions to the area. Today S&S Food Stores is the number one choice for North Central Florida’s convenience store needs. Quality gasoline, a large selection of merchandise, and still the best customer service, all keep customers saying, “Yes” to S&S. The company now owns 42 convenience stores and 3 Scaff’s Markets, all serving a 7 county area.And yes, Lester and Anne Scaff still look over the daily operations from the corporate office with the same careful and guiding hands that crafted the small one store operation to the people oriented, customer friendly business that we are today.
