I read 4 Bruno's are closing in Alabama within 30-60 days :(

I just left the store here and it was really depressing. I felt so bad for the employees, who were really down. The shelves were already looking sparse. Magazines, cards, etc had been emptied. I wonder how the sale will go? For the employees sakes, I hope it is not too quick.

It's sad to see the old alabama grocery stores go under.

I did read about Kroger and piggly wiggly buying some of the stores. So maybe some employees will get to keep their jobs afer all.

I would love Kroger coming to my area...Pelham,AL. How can I find out this info???

Don't know if the buyouts will go through. Bamalady posted a link to the article in the fw thread.

McCook, I am in Pelham, also. Brook Hollow. I love our new Publix on 52. And the CVS, too.

Hi Tina. Hi everyone.

I haven't heard anything about the Bruno's in Gulf Shores or Orange beach,Al going out of business in my area. we just got a new publix and the 5/30 has been great.

I went to the lakeshore/greensprings Brunos tonight. It was really sad. The shelves are half cleared. Signs up saying the shelving was for sale too.
The outside garbage cans even had sales prices on them.
