Associated Grocers of the South was founded in 1927 by 13 local grocery store owners from Birmingham, Alabama, in the United States. Led by Larry Grimes, they chose to establish a retailers' cooperative to compete against the emerging chain stores. The organization has expanded from 2,500 square feet (230 m²) of public warehouse to now having nearly 500,000 square feet (50,000 m²). The company serves 300 independent grocers in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. It distributes the Shurfine brand private label and is a member-owner of Topco Associates LLC.
