Scolari’s To Close Its Central Coast Grocery Stores

After more than 60 years on the Central Coast, Scolari’s plans to close all four of its California supermarkets — in Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara — to focus on its 14 Nevada locations.

The closures are expected within 60 days.

A Scolari’s employee said workers at the San Luis Obispo store were told about the closure Thursday after lunch and that their last day would be June 10.

The Tribune’s calls to the Scolari family were not returned. In a news release issued by the company Thursday, Joey Scolari, who co-owns the chain with his brother Jerry, called it “a gut-wrenching decision.”
