Employees at longtime downtown Chattanooga grocer Buehler’s Market said Friday they’re hearing the business may close as soon as next week.
David Bishop, a 12-year employee at the store and the owner’s son-in-law, said his wife told him the market may close as early as Wednesday.
Buehler’s owner Charles Morton could not be reached for comment.
Other employees at the 429 Market St. location said they, too, had heard the store may close, but they had not been specifically informed.
Bishop said people who live in the downtown area need such a market as Buehler’s, which caters to many low-income patrons.
