PORTAGE, MI -- The organic grocery chain Earth Fare announced stores are closing nationwide.

The specialty store based out of Asheville, North Carolina only has one Michigan location in Portage at 5070 S Westnedge Ave.

All store locations will undergo inventory liquidation, according to a press release. The company will also start selling assets in whole or in parts.

The store does not have a set closing date but anticipates sales through the end of February, according to a spokesperson for Earth Fare.

The company encouraged shoppers to visit the locations while they are still open and “take advantage of these savings before it’s too late." The liquidation will also include the sale of store fixtures, according to the release.

The company announced the closure of its Indianapolis-area locations in Carmel, Noblesville, and Greenwood in December, according to reporting from the Indianapolis Star.
