Yes. If you stop by the Franklin Blvd location, you'll see activity.

The investment group that bought them in 2015 and then ran the company (50 STORES!) into bankruptcy is gone. The original owner/creator of what became Earth Fare has teamed up with a new and like minded investment group and bought the 5 top earning locations along with all the intellectual property. More stores are in the works.

Earth Fare is reborn, returning to what the original owner envisioned. As I understand it, they hope to open doors for business before the end of June. Of course, with Covid-19, some things will have to change, but the spirit is back and many of the former employees will be returning as well.

That’s great news as we could all use more and diverse food shopping options here in Roanoke rather than Kroger who is constantly adjusting what they carry solely based on what sells and offers them the best profit margin. Specialty or gourmet items are really high on their priority list, it’s more about what the average person/family need on a daily basis.
