Prior to a couple announcements made earlier in August, this is the run-down of grocery stores in Decatur.
4 Kroger *
1 County Market (formerly Cub Foods) *
2 Aldi (1 of those brand-new)
2 Sav-a-Lot
2 Wal-Mart
1 Target (limited grocery section)
Schnuck's closed years ago.
And we have no Meijer, Super Target, Hy-vee, Shop-n-Save, or Ruler.
Note there are a pair of "*" indicators above.
Why?
Recently announced......... County Market is closing. And 1 of 4 Krogers (Fairview Plaza / Millikin) is closing.
Yikes.
Some people despise going into Wallyworld.
And since some folks refuse to step foot into a Sav-a-Lot or an Aldi, the closure of 2 big grocery stores is going to put a strain on the remaining ones.
Especially Kroger. And one of their facilities (South Shores) is ridiculously tiny with limited parking.
It's not a good situation.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
