Well, we've pre-discussed this closing here<\/a>, but the actual event finally took place on Saturday 9 November 2013 when this store closed as a Pig<\/i> at 3PM.<\/p>\n

As it happened, I was there a bit after 2PM, and found the store surprisingly well stocked. The entire right quadrant of the store, with produce, the bakery, the cafe and Dream Diners<\/i> was empty, but the non-perishable isles were still pretty well stocked. I suppose the idea is that it probably cost the Pig less, or perhaps even made a little money, to transfer then to Bi-Lo<\/i> rather than go through a drawn out sale, or trying to get them back to the warehouse.<\/p>\n

As commenter Matt mentions, the store brand stuff did go on sale at deep discounts, because, well, Bi-Lo<\/i> can always sell Dixie Crystals<\/i>, but can hardly carry Pig Swig<\/i> or other Pig branded items.<\/p>\n

The store is to reopen next Friday, 15 November 2013 as Bi-Lo<\/i>.<\/p>\n

With this closure, the Garners Ferry<\/a> closing and the Litchfield Beach<\/a> closing, all the \"nice\" Pigs<\/i> that I have personal experience with are gone. The one on Devine appears to be one of the older, smaller layouts, and is a bit of a drive anyhow.<\/p>\n
