ROANOKE, Va. - Save A Lot, a discount grocery store on Melrose Avenue in northwest Roanoke, abruptly closed for good Monday, further limiting food options for hundreds of people in the area.
Now, I dont know what Im going to do.Traveling to grocery stores located farther away can be tough for many.
Roanoke leaders have struggled to find potential grocery store owners to set up shop in some areas of the city.
Neighbors said lots of elderly people and people using wheelchairs shopped at Save A Lot over the 11 years it was in business.
Now, their choice is between dollar stores that may not have as many fresh options or paying to travel a little farther, if theyre able to do so.
