Grand Union to Close its Storrs Location

The supermarket is set to close its doors on Middle Turnpike, but we at Patch want to know, how do you feel about the pending closure?

Grand Union Family Markets, located at 591 Middle Tpke. in Storrs, is set to close its doors.

Bright yellow "Store Closing 30% Off Your Store Order" signs now plaster the store's front windows.

Grand Union employees, and a store manager, identified only as Steve, declined to comment earlier this week on the store's pending closure.
