Residents of Davisville Village are looking for alternative grocery stores for their regular hauls after learning that their local Valu-Mart is closing in just a few days ahead of a forthcoming new development.that the long-standing supermarket at 1500 Bayview Avenue is closing its doors for good on June 29, which has led to some apparent distress in the community.
The stores are also all franchised, so in many ways have the feel of an independent grocer although they are an arm of the nation's largest food purveyor.In a social media post about the closure, the BIA thanked the retailer's dedicated employees, which people echoed in the comments. A few others likewise called the loss of what they consider a neighbourhood fixture "so sad," adding that they hope that the kind faces they saw working at the store can find new positions nearby.The Valu-Mart at 1500 Bayview Ave. is closing down at the end of the month, while an 8-storey rental building will eventually take its place.
