THAT NEWS. TORI WELL, THE DOORS ARE SET TO STAY OPEN HERE AT GIANT EAGLE IN WEST NEWTON. THIS COMING JUST TEN DAYS BEFORE THEY WERE SET TO CLOSE FOR GOOD. IT’S NOT YOUR AVERAGE GROCERY STORE. I COME HERE EVERY DAY. REALLY? EVERY DAY. MOSTLY EVERY DAY. IN WEST NEWTON. MOST PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE DAVID KING AND WALK DOWN THE AISLES OF THIS GIANT EAGLE OFTEN TELL THEM TO STAY HERE AND DON’T CLOSE EVER THE SAME MESSAGE. MANY SHOPPERS HAD LAST MONTH AFTER FINDING OUT THE STORE WAS SET TO CLOSE ON JUNE 23RD FOLLOWING THE RETIREMENT OF ITS OWNERS. I WAS HOPING IT WASN’T TRUE. AND NOW THAT’S NO LONGER THE CASE, GIANT EAGLE SAYS. INSTEAD, THE STORE WILL SOON BE UNDER TEMPORARY CORPORATE MANAGEMENT. I AM WORKING WITH A GREAT TEAM FROM CORPORATE GIANT EAGLE AND THE CEO, BILL ARTMAN. YOU KNOW, I WROTE A VERY STRONG LETTER. WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AND SOMEBODY LISTENED. WEST NEWTON MAYOR SAYS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THERE IS NOW MORE TIME TO FIND AN INTERESTED BUYER AND ONE THAT SHE FEELS WILL KEEP IT. A HOMETOWN SUPERMARKET. IT’S A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO RETAIN THE EMPLOYEES AND WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A GROCERY STORE HOPING TO CONTINUE FILLING MORE CARTS FOR YEARS TO COME. IT’S THE ONLY STORE HERE IN WEST NEWTON, SO YOU CAN’T CLOSE IT DOWN. DON’T EVER CLOSE IT. IT’S DEFINITELY GOOD NEWS. GIANT EAGLE SAYS THEY WILL OPERATE THE STORE UNTIL THE END OF ITS CURRENT LEASE, WHICH IS DECEMBER 2024, OR UNTIL SOMEONE
