RITCHIES TO CLOSE IN HASTINGS, S’VILLE? ■ The futures of Ritchies IGA supermarkets at Hastings and Somerville are uncertain, with speculation that an announcement will be made this week that they are to close. The Hastings site is at the corner of High and Salmon Sts, alongside the Westernport Plaza. There is discussion online that the independent supermarket chain was unable to reach agreement with the landlords, that was satisfactory to both parties. It is believed that Ritchies were keen to stay, as they have been at the same location at 1977. At Somerville, the store has been located at 2 Eramosa Rd West. Social media discussion says that the closure of the local Somerville branch of the Commercial Bank was a contributing factor to the store’s demise.
