Laurel County grocery staple closes after over 100 years of serving community

LONDON, Ky. (FOX 56) — A store at the corner of Barbourville Road and Lagoon Trail in London has been supplying families in the community for over 100 years—until now.

On Friday, April 10, Laurel County Sheriff John Root posted on social media asking for prayers for the Laurel Grocery Company’s staff in the wake of its closure.
