UPDATE--SEE BELOW--

I just spoke to a store manager at one of the Bloom stores that are closing here in the N VA area about using Manufacturer Coupons (MQs) and the %/off sales.

Here is the latest--

1. Bloom (and I assume also the Food Lion stores closing) WILL ACCEPT MQ(s) ONLY for the Face Value.

2. You CANNOT use the Bloom/Food Lion Web Coupons at the stores that are closing.

3. You CAN use the Bloom Web Coupons for Bloom SD(s) 01/28/12, Saturday at the Bloom stores that are NOT closing.

4. The %/off sales for Bloom/Food Lion stores closing will be 50%/off starting 01/25/12, Wednesday. After the w/o of 01/25/12, the %'s will go to 75%/off and so forth.

5. Bloom stores that are closing in N VA (and I assume Food Lion too) will most like close by 02/12/12.

6. Bloom store hours for the stores that are closing are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday to Saturday (7 days a week).

At the stores that I called in N VA that are closing (Bloom stores), there is
still a good selection of merchandise.

Good luck and hope this info helps--
