Seems to fail notability guidelines, best source I could find was this, which simply mentioned that the chain closed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 01:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - a nationwide supermarket chain with at least 12 locaitons in business for 70 years is pretty notable. The report of its closing is major mention in a reliable source. Almost certainly there are more reports from back in the chain's heyday if we look, but obviously there is less on the Internet from that era than today. There are quite a few - dozens - of articles from the past decade, (here is one[1]) mostly reporting one store or another closing. That's the most notable thing that happened to the chain in the 2000s, it closed. If you look back there are other articles, e.g. this one in 1990 about someone buying the chain[2] - Wikidemon (talk) 18:38, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
