MINNEAPOLIS-Nash Finch Co. blames slumping sales at its retail grocery stores for its decision to shut down 21 of them next month. The move includes its five discount Buy n Save in the Twin Cities among those scheduled to close in June.

The Buy n Save stores in Minnesota were the prototypes for Nash Finch to develop a limited selection discount format, called “extreme value” stores in the food industry.

Also being shut down are two full-size EconoFoods supermarkets in Rochester, MN, as well as several EconoFoods stores in Upper Midwest states and a Sun Mart supermarket in Nebraska. The chain is also closing its Hispanic-themed Avanza stores in Chicago and Colorado.
