The Mount Airy Bottom Dollar has been spared plans by its parent company in a recent announcement that many Bottom Dollar and Food Lion stores will be closing, but the local facility will be converted to a Food Lion later this year. The parent company of Food Lion and Bot- tom Dollar, Belgian-based Delhaize America, announced on Thursday it would be closing more than 100 stores nationwide, eliminating nearly 5,000 jobs. Locally, the company said it has no plans to close any stores, although the Bottom Dollar presence will disappear from Mount Airy, as it will throughout most of the Southeast, when the store on West Pine Street is converted to a Food Lion. “Conversions will begin immediately, all stores should be converted by year-end,” said Christy Phillips-Brown, a corporate spokes- person for Food Lion. She said between 30-35 Taken from surveillance footage, this picture reveals two suspects entering a convenience store, prior to the murder of a Yadkin County resident. Investigators believe a third suspect remained in their vehicle, during this time. people work at the Mount Airy Bottom Dollar. “Most will transition into new roles, or similar roles at Food Lion,” she said. Employees there learned of the plans late Wednesday night, she said. “We believe Food Lion can meet the needs of consumers in the market, and it will strength- en the presence of Food Lion in the area,” she said of the local change. There are no plans to alter operations of the existing Food Lion stores in the area. The move is part of a company-wide re- structuring, with 113 Food Lion and a half- dozen Bottom Dollar stores being shuttered, including at least four in North Carolina, while another 22 Bottom Dollar stores will be con- verted to Food Lions. She said those stores were targeted for closure because they were “under-performing.” She said the company will focus on the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia markets for Bottom Dollar, while concentrat- ing on the Food Lion brand elsewhere.

The Lady Bears broke open a close game and held on for a 66-50 win over East Surry behind point guard Jordan Hiatt. Mount Airy led just 16- 14 when Hiatt drew a foul and made two shots, then scored again for a seven- point lead. When Hiatt went to the bench with two minutes left because of three fouls, the Lady Cardinals could have made a run, but Summer Hamilton scored six points in less than a minute for a 29-18 halftime lead. Hiatt had 15 of her game- high 24 points in the first half, while Hamilton had six of her nine points in that spurt.
