Officials with the Save A Lot store in Lancaster announced on their Facebook page that they closed the store on August 31st, a week earlier than they had planned.

When officials made the initial announcement that the store would shut down they announced they would remain open until September 7th. They didn't give a reason why they decided to shut down a week earlier in their post on Facebook.

There have been some rumors that a Dash's or other grocery store could move into that area where Save-A-Lot is but nothing has been confirmed.

According to a press release from Big Lots, the two locations at Linden Corners on Delaware Ave and the spot on South Ogden will be closing.
