I think this is a tragedy firing these people with no notice, no severance pay. It makes no sense money-wise and crime-wise to have the police take their place.

This is an area that has been under served in grocery shopping for quite a while,and overcoming the usual restrictive covenant clauses that the big chains impose on stores that they vacate is usually a difficult task.
