Susan Strasser sends this picture from the final days at Cub Foods in Madison, Wisconsin. Earlier this year, the supermarket chain's parent company told the Green Bay Press-Gazette it was closing almost 50 of its underpreforming stores nationwide.

Twitter pal @olevia sends news of eminent demise of Frisbee's Market, a Kittery landmark and family business dating back to 1828. The store's owners were forced into Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week, but say they're still hoping "Batman flies in to the rescue," that or a wealthy investor.
