Awesome deals at Vons that's closing
Location:
2100 White Lane,
Bakersfield, CA
Hurry up! We recently reported that the Vons on White Lane is closing for good. Today? It's nuts out there. Reporter Courtenay Edelhart is there right now, and says there are two lines of people waiting to get into the store. One is 38 people deep. Some people in line say they've waited five hours to get in to the bargains. (There is a guard at the door, apparently for crowd control.) What kind of deals? Well, one woman told Courtenay she bought at least $300 worth of groceries for $130. Courtenay hasn't gotten in the store to see the prices for herself, however. Alas, while one woman wheeled out two shopping carts full of groceries, Courtenay said, other people were giving up and going home. The store shutters for good at 5 p.m. May 31. You've been warned! Read Courtenay's full report here. — Christine Peterson 5 comments from 4 users

OldBlue56, "Shutters for good" means it is closing, and will not reopen. posted by

Got it. I have heard of window shutters, a shutter on a camera lens, but never a store shuttering. Oh well, must be like that "new math". posted by
