More And More Supermarkets are   Closing .. The reason is Two fold, One stores such as discounter’s as Target and  Walmart are  featuring huge  food isles at lower prices,  And the other reason is working couples have less time to cook and are eating out more often, and are shopping at specialty  shops that feature ready made food by the pound that have items  such as meat loaf . stew  lasagna etc (hot of course )  and its these stores that are  getting the customers while Supermarkets  remain  almost devoid of patrons forcing more and more to close down certain outlets ..end
