Central Virginia losing part of it's identity?

Will Central Virginia be losing Ukrops Supermarkets??

Seems the time-worn rumors might be true, this time!

I've been unfaithful on occasion... visiting the new and shining Atlee Kroger store or quickly running into the Mechanicsville Foodlion (but no other F'lions... yuck). But I always come back to the U. I will be heartbroken if we lose Ukrops.

The only thing that could assuage my pain would be a Whole Foods in Mechanicsville. It's a real pain to go into Short Pump just to run into WF's (well for anything really... traffic... bah!).

But I'm getting used to heart-break... lately.
