CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) - More than 1,000 employees of Gordy’s Market grocery chain have been notified they could lose their jobs if a buyer isn’t found.
The Chippewa Falls-based grocery business is in receivership. A letter to the state Department of Workforce Development from receiver attorney Michael Polsky lists 25 affected grocery stores - all except for the Osseo location. Some of the stores have already closed or are being sold to another grocer.
The Leader-Telegram reports Gordy’s main supplier, Nash Finch, filed a lawsuit last week saying it’s owed more than $86 million.
