Harvest Grocery will be closing this week, so everything in the store is now 25 percent off, manager Hal Miller said Monday morning.

Miller wasn’t authorized to talk about the reasons for the closure of the business, which opened in June of last year.

When the business opened, officials said it would be the largest independently owned natural foods store in the Southeast. The 32,000-square-foot-store, located at 5414 Hixson Pike, aimed to bring natural and organic foods to area residents while promoting health and wellness throughout the community.

There had been a Facebook post Sunday about the closure, but it’s since been deleted and replaced with a new one:

Some residents expressed disappointment about the closure.
