Little Britain Foodland closing for good
Little Britain residents will soon have to travel to Lindsay for groceries. As first reported in the Advocate’s social media feeds, the village’s Foodland store is closing for good as of March 16, after Sobeys, its parent corporation, decided not to renew its lease with the owner of the property.
Prior to Foodland’s tenure, the store was known for decades as Casey’s IGA, and many longtime residents hold special memories of the business at 1043 Little Britain Road.
A farewell to this staple of downtown Little Britain takes place on March 2 from Noon to 4 p.m.
I think that it is horrible to close a store that is a lifeline to so many people We moved to Little Britian in part because of the grocery store so close Many elderly people of little Britian don’t drive and this will be devastating to them
We have been looking for property in that area but will look elsewhere now that there is no access to a local grocery store.
Things sure are great since trudeau and ford became our political leaders. Corruption and hate are politicians agenda in Canada.
Much like the previous Foodland grocery stores in Woodville, Janetville, & other rural locations, this one will likely be converted to a large scale convenience store, with a larger selection of beer, wine, & liquor & a limited supply of food staples. That is providing the owner does not ask for ridiculous rent. Coboconk could be next in line as they rely heavily on the cottage traffic in the summer months. For some inane reason, these closures are considered progress. very sad.
