TERRA ALTA GROCERY STORE CLOSED

The only grocery store in the town of Terra Alta announced its closing last week. Shop’N’Save store owner Craig Phillips says the employees were notified of the closing, citing competition from box stores and the internet. The town has a Family Dollar and Dollar General, but does not sell the large variety of groceries that Shop’N’Save offers. Residents will now have to travel to either Kingwood or Oakland to grocery shop. The store has been a part of Terra Alta for the past 25 years.
