Rumors of the closing of one Louisa grocery store began circulating on social media last week prompting the Assistant Manager Wesley Brian to confirm and inform the public by providing the details of the upcoming closure of Louisa A Lot in the following post on Facebook.
“I would like to take a moment to formally address the information that has recently been circulating throughout Martin County, Lawrence County, and the surrounding areas regarding the status of the Louisa Save A Lot location.
In my capacity as the Assistant Manager of Save A Lot, I can confirm that the store will be permanently closing, with our final day of operation scheduled for Friday, May 8.
This decision follows careful evaluation of the store’s long-term operational viability, including factors related to maintaining the current facility. After thorough consideration, it was determined that continuing operations at this location is no longer sustainable.
We recognize the important role our store has played within the community, and we sincerely appreciate the support and trust that customers from across the region have shown us over the years. It has been a privilege to serve you!!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly, and I will do my best to provide assistance.
Until our closing date, we remain committed to providing the highest level of service to our customers and ensuring a smooth transition in the coming weeks.
Kathy Shortridge Stewart, long-time manager also posted a confirmation as well by stating she wanted to thank everyone who supported the store throughout the years.
“I would like to take a moment to address the recent news regarding the closure of Louisa Save A Lot on May 8. Unfortunately, this information is accurate. It had been my intention to communicate this personally with each of our employees and vendors, allowing them the respect, time, and privacy to process the news and discuss it with their families. I sincerely apologize to anyone who learned of this development through social media before hearing it directly from us.
I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to our valued customers. Your support, loyalty, and kindness have meant more than words can fully express. You have truly been the most rewarding part of this experience, and we will deeply miss serving each and every one of you. I hope to see many of you in the coming days as we prepare to close our doors.”
The building was constructed in 1994, however, Stewart wasn’t sure of the date of grand opening.
