Giant to take over Shoppers at Landmark

The shelves at the Shoppers grocery store at the Plaza at Landmark are mostly empty, as the store prepares to close on June 18.

While many shelves are empty, there are still lots of things to buy at Shoppers.

The building has been taken over by Giant Food, which plans to renovate it and reopen this fall.

Meanwhile everything that’s left at Shoppers, except produce, milk, eggs, bread, beer, wine, and cigarettes, is 30 percent off.
