The post, made to the official social media of Van Dyke Grocery Store by owners Kyle and Sara Van Dyke, says they've "made the tough decision to close our family grocery store" after 120 years of serving the Atchison community at 401 North 4th Street.
Saying the business is "going to wind down the next couple of weeks," the statement ends with the Van Dyke's saying they "really appreciate all our customers over the years."
A specific closure date is not provided, nor is a definitive reason for the closure.
MSC Radio News reached out for further comment on the decision, with Kyle Van Dyke agreeing to provide that information in a forthcoming sit down interview.
Well known for its full service meat counter, comments to the social media post reflect that, with several decrying the loss while voicing thanks for the years of service.
The announcement follows another, recently announced closure of a long-running Atchison business.
Hilligoss Shoes, which began operating in 1931, announced in a social media post February 7 that this, the 95th year, will be their last.
