Re: Grocery store will close, renovate, reopen
That's a real tear-jerker.

Change the headline to "Area man laments temporary closure of discount grocer" and that could run in The Onion.

Re: Grocery store will close, renovate, reopen
So -
1) The Grocery store will close.
2) The Grocery store will be renovated.
3) The Grocery store will reopen.
A very workable plan IMHO.
Ms. Plaszaj's plan is a good one too - To 'clean and catch up on her reading'.
If only more people were as organised.
I wonder what I'd do if I had to close down Lean Industries for renovations...
I'd like to think that I'd be like Ms Plaszaj, but I fear I might just stay in bed all day instead.
It's an interesting area for speculation.

Re: Grocery store will close, renovate, reopen
My greatest fear is that I might write a book...
Chapter One: How I went shopping without my glasses, bought the wrong juice, and invented the 'Carrot Mary'.
Chapter Two: Why my poetry has never been published (with plenty of examples).
Chapter Three: My wife's Quiche: The barometer of her love.
Chapter Four: The truth about my neighbours.
Chapter Five: ...
Well, you get the idea...

"Items like milk, bread and eggs were in stock and frozen foods were on sale for 25 percent off as part of the renovation sale. Some products such as Pepperidge Farm cookies and Coca-Cola were accompanied by large signs reading, "Not discounted."
Why were, the Pepperidge Farm, not 25% off??

Re: Grocery store will close, renovate, reopen
"Mr. Scozio announced his plans to close and renovate the store to its employees on March 2. He said he intends to keep the entire staff of Festival Foods to work in the newly renovated store, which is a relief to Patti Plaszaj of Canonsburg, who has worked as a cashier since the store's opening in 2002."
Patti is a lovely name and I imagine that her surname means 'Pleasures' in origin.
