Co-op Walks Away From Fifeville Grocery Site | Charlottesville News

Though the co-op’s exit disappoints, developers remain hopeful, actively seeking other grocery partners to bring a community-focused store to Fifeville. The site, once home to Kim’s Market and an IGA for decades, is now a blank canvas — and the co-op’s door isn’t entirely shut: they’re still open to future opportunities elsewhere in the neighborhood.
