A grocery store in Clifton Forge is going out of business. The “Save a Lot” on Cary Street will shut down Friday. Both customers and workers are sad to see the store close. Customers will now shop at the nearby Kroger. Cynthia Ray is a loyal customer. “I just said  ‘I'm so sorry for Alice and them to lose their jobs’. Things are hard now-a-days so if you've got a job be thankful,” she said.

Some employees have been working at the location for more than two decades, even before it was a “Save a Lot” store.
