Grocery store closed for remodeling in Birmingham Five Points West

The Meat Depot by Food Giant in Birmingham’s Five Points West neighborhood closed last week for remodeling.

Located at 2220 Bessemer Road near the Birmingham Crossplex, the store made the sudden announcement via a January 7th Facebook post.

Below is the sign posted on the entrance of the storefront.

The temporary closure of the store comes nearly three years after the long dormant former Winn-Dixie location reopened as a Food Giant store.

Presently, there is no word about when the store will reopen.
