Save A Lot in Franklin, 317 Grant St., will mark its grand reopening on Wednesday and Thursday.
“The store team and I are excited to bring Save A Lot back to Franklin residents,” said Chris Olako, Save A Lot regional director.
To celebrate the grand reopening of the Franklin location, Wednesday morning will kick off at 8 a.m. with the first 100 customers receiving a pre-assembled bag of grocery staples.
At 9 a.m., the store team will join Franklin Mayor Doug Baker and other local elected officials for a ribbon-cutting. Afterward, the store will make a $500 donation to Atlantic Avenue Church for its food pantry.
On Thursday, the store will be giving away LunchMakers to the first 100 customers, and will be offering hot deals on fresh cut meat, produce and other pantry essentials.
The discount grocery store had held a soft reopening on Sept. 2 after nearly a year of closure, after the previous franchise owner of the Franklin and Titusville locations had decided to stop being a franchisee in October of last year, TheDerrick.com reported earlier this month.
Founded in 1977, Save A Lot is the largest independently owned and operated value-focused grocery store chain in the U.S., with approximately 650 stores in 29 states, according to a news release from the company.
Stores focus on offering everyday low prices on great tasting, high quality private label brands as well as national brand products, USDA-inspected meat cut fresh in store, farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, and other non-food items, the release said.
