‘We’re heartbroken’: Customers say goodbye to ShopRite that is closing and blaming soda tax
Didi Anderson walked two blocks from her home to the ShopRite in West Philadelphia on Wednesday morning to buy a can of peas for beef stew.
But she lingered inside, filling her cart with more than just peas, as she realized that the Haverford Avenue store, which will close Thursday, was offering all items at a 75 percent discount.
Anderson was happy about the low prices but not the closing of the store, which will leave her neighborhood without a supermarket.
