A grocery store in Nashville, Tennessee, that stopped raising its prices to help customers suffering due to inflation may soon have to close due to being behind on rent.
The grocery store called A&M Marketplace, which is located at the Nashville Farmer’s Market, was recently notified it is in default, WTVF reported on Friday. Now, the store’s operators are worried because they only have a few days to come up with over $27,000. The owner is trying to find answers and help to remedy the situation, the outlet continued:
Storeowner Martha Lupai claims that an ongoing issue with squirrels in the Market House has caused her to throw out more than $5,700 in food due to contamination, halt her smoothie business—costing her $150 per day—and close her store multiple times to disinfect and clean. She’s spoken to city leaders about this issue.
Lupai said she was offered and committed to a repayment plan to get caught up, but the Nashville Farmers’ Market is now going back on their word.
In September, Lupai said she agreed to pay the expected over $8,000 a month plus around $2,000 to eventually make good on the debt.
