Signs on the door and throughout the store announce the "going out of business" sale at Roy's Foods in Vinton. Roy Fish told Vinton Today that the store would close March 12. The Roy's in Shellsburg will remain open.

Fish ran the Roy's grocery store in Shellsburg for years before starting his second store in what had been the Food Pride building several years ago.

D March 1, 2011, 2:55 am I wish there were more information for example why is the store closing? Is there any possible plans for the building in the future? How does this affect the community.

DL March 1, 2011, 9:17 am Too bad. Since Farway isn\'t open on Sundays that will mean paying inflated prices at convience stores or worse running to CR again!!

JH March 1, 2011, 12:56 pm I will surely miss the convenience of picking up the best homemade brats right here in Vinton, but assume they are still available at the other store!

A March 1, 2011, 3:32 pm too bad.... will miss the convenience of the store. Also will really miss it on Sundays when I always seem to run out of stuff & need to make a quick trip to Roy\'s!

KB March 2, 2011, 7:46 am Maybe all of us should get together and purchase it? What is the story, give me a call.
