Blvd Lansing, Ml 48910 December 2, 2010 Dear Colonial Village Neighbors and Friends: Thank you for your interest in L&L Food Centers. | thought I would share with you, first hand, the information about L&L Colonial Village closing instead of having inaccurate information circulating. Closing a store is never easy. To have to inform our associates that my family and I have worked with for so many years, some over 30 years, that they no longer have a job is heart wrenching. We do care deeply about our associates and all their hard work. The decision to close the Colonial Village location was made at the insistence of our financial institution. Waiting one, two or even four ‘weeks was not an option, The Colonial Village store has not been profitable for several years, and quite frankly should have been closed many months ago. My family and I were optimistic that the economy would tum around and banks ‘would start lending to reinvest in the store so that we could update our facility and buy the products needed to fill our shelves. This, however, has not come to pass. After exhausting all options, we had to close immediately. It is our plan to emerge from these tough times and reinvest in the other locations. We are working hard to do just that, Resources are still limited and we hope you will support us in this transition by your continued patronage. Over 300 plus dedicated associates still work for L&L Food Centers and live in this community. They are ready to serve you. Thank you for your support over these years. We invite you to shop at the Martin Luther King store just down the road. Kindest regards, Stan Levandowski II, President L&L Food Centers
