The one we shop at is closing... in Johnson City. Kinda sucks but we have Food City and IGA pretty close too.

I'd hate to see people loose their jobs and didn't see the one in Cookeville mentioned, which surprises me. There is never anyone there and the prices are so HIGH. The only food store back in VA where we were at was Food Lion so we had no choice but for the value, I always go to Kroger.

There are two Food Lions in Cookeville, and I agree that it's kind of strange that neither one of them is closing. Neither is the one in Livingston.

The one closing in Johnson City is in Keystone. There was an article in the JC Press today about how many of the residents of that neighborhood are going to have to figure out other ways to get groceries now, like the city's transit system or cabs. That Food Lion may not have performed in a corporate sense but it sure will leave a big hole in the east side of Johnson City. It was super close to Keystone, Broadway and the Gump neighborhoods.

I never could bring myself to buy anything from there after the scandal about bleaching meat, even though it's been years. (and no, I really don't want to know about any other unsavory practices going on in the grocery store business either, blech)
