FRANKFORT, IL — Butera Market in Frankfort is set to close its doors for good, but exactly when remains unclear, according to an employee of the grocery store with knowledge of the situation.
The employee told Patch that workers at the grocery store first became aware of the pending closure through one of the store's vendors on Sept. 15, and that corporate ownership met with some department managers Sept. 17 to inform them of the plans to close.
The employee requested anonymity because they feared repercussions from the grocery store's ownership.
Employees have not been given an exact date for the Frankfort store's closing, but said that it was expected to happen in October. The store is not restocking any of its inventory and is working to sell off what currently remains in the store, according to the employee.
Rumors started circulating last week on social media that the store would soon close. Social media users wrote that they heard about the closing from other Butera Market employees at the Frankfort store.
Patch reached out to Butera Market corporate offices for comment on the rumors multiple times this week, but has yet to receive a response.
Employees are being given an option to transfer to another of the Butera Market locations, but those locations — Algonquin, Des Plaines, Elgin, Genoa, Grayslake, Harwood Heights, Lindenhurst, Norridge, South Elgin and Palatine — are all a considerable distance from Frankfort, which makes a transfer unlikely for many of the Frankfort store's workers, the employee said.
Butera Market was founded in 1963 under the name Butera Finer Foods, according to information on the company's website.
