Roxie’s Grocery store honored by Shelby County commissioners after more than 35 years in business
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For 37 years, Floyd and Roxy Miller have been grilling up their much-heralded hamburgers for customers at Roxie’s Grocery store in Downtown Memphis.
The Shelby County Commission honored the the family business on Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, after the Millers recently announced their retirement.
The Millers opened their business in 1986 and in addition to selling groceries, it became known for their homemade breakfast and soul food lunch menu selections.
Many regular customers consider their burgers among some of the best sold in the city; others call it a “hidden gem” due to the fact that it’s locally owned with little planned fanfare or advertising.
Popularity spread over the years by word of mouth and on social media.
The couple said they will continue to serve burgers until the Roxie’s location at 520 North Third Street is sold so they can remove their cooking aprons for good.
