Nemenz Food Stores announced on Monday that their Lincoln Knolls IGA Store on McCartney Road is closing.

According to a news release, operations are expected to cease at the store at close of business Saturday, March 12, 2016.

The release says that in spite of several initiatives over several years at the location, the store is not meeting performance expectations.

The company statement goes on to say, "The Nemenz family would like to thank the Store Personnel for their service, loyalty and understanding during this transition. Employees interested in transferring to another Nemenz Family store will be offered a position."

The Save-A-Lot store also on McCartney Road will remain open, even after the IGA supermarket closes.
