Giant-Carlisle/Martin’s/What-have-you announced plans today to close 24 Richmond-area Ukrop’s stores to do some remodeling and refurbishing.
From the press release:
Throughout the renovation process, MARTIN’S is utilizing regional contractors from architectural services, IT professionals, and all subcontractors including carpenters, electricians and plumbers. MARTIN’S also intends to continue its business relationships with the local agricultural community as well as other local suppliers who sell their products in its stores.
“Today’s announcement of a significant, multi-million dollar investment in the future of our stores is important news, not only for our customers and 3,600 associates, but for the Greater Richmond community,” said Jim Scanlon, regional vice president. “As a business, we intend to continue our tradition of supporting local suppliers from the painters we’ll need to refresh the stores to the local produce that customers will continue to find.”
In order to keep Richmonders from losing their minds things convenient for customers, the temporary closings of the stores will be staggered and pharmacies and in-store banks will remain open.

they’ve already messed up the salad bar at the carytown location. what else is there to do?
Has anyone seen a schedule of the store closings yet?
I went to the Martin’s site and registered for their bonus card, but I am not sure if it took.
I was just checking out their website and came across this page: http://richmond.martinsfoods.com/shareddev/sharedcontent/VA/. It just says the upcoming weeks.
Also, funny thing – Carytown is spelled Carrytown on their website.
