Fast forward one month...

After Bruno's Supermarkets, LLC, announced as many as 10 possible store closings in the state of Alabama back on February 18, 2009, things were relatively quiet for about one month. The news kept recycling some information about the company's attempt at restructuring, and also discussed the possibility of a buyout from another chain grocer, but nothing of great interest emerged until...

The Mobile Press-Register ran the following story on March 23, 2009 lamenting Bruno's economic troubles and announcing the impending closing of a Saraland Food World store. Potentially more interesting was the following quotation of reporter Jeff Amy who wrote, "ADECA officials confirmed by telephone today that they've received notices for most or all of the company's 34 Food Worlds and 21 Bruno's in Alabama."

It sounds like we're about to lose our neighborhood grocery store, folks.
