BLACKSBURG, Va.—
Demolition has begun on the Foodtime convenience store in Blacksburg.
It's at the corner of Clay Street and South Main.
This is the store that has a mosaic on it that was created by Blacksburg Middle School students in 2001. Since the mosaic was created on part of a retaining wall, the mosaic will be torn down as well.
That wall is expected to be gone by 5 p.m. Monday.
The mosaic stands about 10 feet high and stretches about 20 feet wide.
Once demolition is completed, the old Foodtime store site will be a mixed use development site.
The Foodtime store was built more than 40 years ago.
