LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — After more than two decades in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood, ValuMarket announced Saturday when the store will officially close to the public.
In a social media post, ValuMarket said the last days the store will be open to the public are Monday, June 22 and Tuesday, June 23.
The store will be closed on Sunday, June 21, to prepare for the final shopping days.
"As our time at Mid City Mall draws to a close, we want to thank the Highlands community once again for your support, your loyalty, and the memories you’ve shared with us over the years," the store said in a social media post.
A liquidation sale is underway at the grocer on Bardstown Road, which is one of the last businesses still operating in the Mid City Mall.
The closure of the grocery store comes after redevelopment and demolition plans for the mall were approved in April to make way for a new $60 million open-air development into the Mid City Market. Developers gave the business until Aug. 30 to vacate the property.
A 10% liquidation sale started Wednesday to help clear out inventory at the store, which opened in 2005.
The liquidation sale will be 30% for the final two days on Monday and Tuesday.
The other ValuMarket locations are in Iroquois Manor, Fern Creek and Mount Washington. Bizzell previously told our partners at Louisville Business First that some of the 50 employees at the Highlands location will be transferred to the other stores.
An official demolition date for the Mid City Mall has not been announced. Construction on the Mid City Market is expected to take about 15 months.
Plans feature five new buildings, including the possible Publix. The Heine Brothers Coffee and Raising Cane's locations along Bardstown Road will remain.
Plans also include more green space and increased pedestrian walkways, with a 25% reduction in parking — more than 100 spaces. The library inside Mid City Mall is expected to remain and relocate to a building on the Beechwood Avenue side of the development.
Several businesses within Mid City Mall already closed or moved. Ramen House Louisville moved to a location on Spring Street, and The Nearly New Shop closed in September. The iconic Back Door Bar closed in May 2024 after the passing of longtime owner John Dant. Baxter Avenue Theatres closed at the end of 2025, citing the uncertain future of Mid City Mall.
