H&H Grocery to call it quits this month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small grocery store that butted right up against the street on the south side of the viaduct and went by the name Huskins, Chambers and more recently, H&H Grocery will be no more after this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Facebook post on August 15, 2020, the message of the store’s closing read simply: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would like too thank all our Loyal customers that helped keep us going during this difficult time. Sad too say but on August 27 H & H grocery will be closing it\u2019s doors, again thanks too all!! We will be selling everything, will have a big garage Thursday Friday and Saturday , 27, 28 and 29, all must go.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notice mentions a difficult time that led to the store’s closing. The street in front of the store has been under construction and a challenge to navigate for months as the city builds a new bridge that will replace the old viaduct. The pandemic that has kept many residents, especially seniors, at home has only added insult to injury for the small store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than 50 years, the small grocery store at 602 South Rogers served as a resource for grabbing a quick loaf of bread, a copy of the newspaper or a fresh donut for those who lived south of town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the tightly packed 864 square feet of retail space, the store also operated a deli that served sandwiches, soups and other comfort foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, attracting a following IRL that was reflected in its more than 1,000 Facebook followers and its glowing Facebook reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt McClain offered up the review: “Best place to get sandwiches! The chicken salad and pimento cheese are greatness. Deviled eggs cannot be passed up either.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sylvia Truehitt agrees: “best sandwiches anywhere! just like mom used to make!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, Michael Burchfield says: “Great fresh foods!! Love the hometown \/country store atmosphere and attitude. Their chef salad is INCREDIBLE.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location is up for sale with a contract pending on the property valued at $150,000. Soon, loyal customers of the grocery store will find out if the new owners will keep the store going or level it to make room for something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
