Belle Foods bankruptcy results in Food World closure

As Belle Foods LLC tries to recover from its debt, it has decided to close its Food World location on Green Springs Highway, among other stores.

The grocer recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, according to Alan Harris, Hoover’s Belle Foods’ store manager.

Approximately 35 employees work at the Green Springs Food World, according to Harris.

As the manager for Homewood’s Food World, Harris said the store began its liquidation process early last month. It took two or three weeks to complete the process, according to Harris. At the time of printing, there was no set closing date.

Harris worked for Bruno’s for 35 years and joined Belle Foods LLC when it purchased the chain last year.
