Latta IGA To Shut Down

It was recently reported that the store will close because it was not generating enough sales. It's expected to remain open through September.

The only grocery store in the town of Latta is set to close.

The IGA located along South Richardson Street has served Latta for nearly a century. It was recently reported that the store will close because it was not generating enough sales. It’s expected to remain open through September.

The closure could create a challenge for residents who face transportation barriers. Residents have expressed concern about the store’s employees and what the closure will mean for those who depend on the grocer for both employment and convenient access to food.

Following the store’s closure, for many Latta residents, the closest grocery store will be around seven miles away in Dillon.
