Yes, it was on the news today that one of our supermarket chains are going to be closing several of their stores.
My Mom was on the phone to me earlier as her cousin had phoned her to ask if our local store was one of those closing. It was the first Mom had heard about it so of course she started to worry. It is one of the few places that she feels confident to drive to now. The other store is a bit further away and bigger and she prefers the smaller store.
Anyway, finding out which stores are closing is a job for me for tomorrow.
The supermarket in question is Morrisons.
Don’t you just hate it when your favourite stores close down !

Yes and no. If I was going to a store all the time it might bother me, but honestly, it doesn't. We still have one Winn-Dixie left after Aldi bought it.

I saw that. It’s a very competitive market and all the chains are struggling. There are very few on the high street and more and more superstores. Which is great if you drive and don’t mind spending hours walking around them, and making sure you don’t overstay at the same time and get a fine from the car park company.

It is sad when a local supermarket closes for business for good.

I hope your Mom's store isn't closing. I hate when that happens, just like I hate when they discontinue an item that I like.

@traceyjayne It’s the biggest, busiest branches that survive. Our Lidl is getting its self service tills installed this week - I’m not pleased. I got a free lemon this week.

That will be very disappointing - and worrying - for your Mum if it's 'her' store that closes.

Yeah. Though I've had few experiences of stores closing, though a notable one is Toys R Us, many small local restaurants and other interesting businesses are closing, and sometimes it makes me feel like there's less of a sense of community when places close. I know how you feel.

Yeah! I'll feel the same if my favorite supermarket close. It feels different when you grocery shop at a supermarket you always go to because you already know it by heart and mind hahahah you dont forget anything even without making a list. when I go to a different supermarket, i always forget things and it takes me so long because Im not familiar with the place.
