Hill's Food Stores were a chain of grocery stores founded in Birmingham in 1911.
The chain was marketed alongside Piggly-Wiggly in the 1930s.
Golden Flake potato chips were created by Magic City Foods, located in the basement of the original Hill's.
Hill's was bought by Jacksonville, Florida-based Winn-Dixie in the early 1960s. Initially the stores kept their names, selling Winn-Dixie meat and other products. By the end of the decade the brand transition was completed.

- Clairmont Avenue
- Eastwood Mall
- 3000 Montgomery Highway (U.S. Highway 31) in Homewood (now Piggly-Wiggly)
