Employees at Wickliffe's only grocery store are preparing to close up shop after 25 years in business.
Town and Country Grocery, located at 716 Phillips Drive, will close its doors for good on Saturday, Nov. 17. Supervisor Doyle Holifield said he helped open the store 25 years ago. He said he and the store's other employees, who are all part owners, will be sorry to see it close after all these years.
"We're very sad that we leave. I was personally involved in getting this grocery store here 25 years ago." Holifield said.
Holifield said it was a lack of sales that forced the company to make the decision to close the store. He added the store is offering a 20 percent discount on all items until it closes.
Town and Country Grocery operates 37 stores in four states, and opened its first location 45 years ago.
"We have a grocery store 16 miles away in Charleston," Holifield said. "It would be great if they shopped with us there."
