UPDATE: Groceries are still on sale through Saturday. They're at 75-percent off of their regular prices now, but pickings are very slim. The store will auction off its equipment and appliances at the property itself on Tuesday morning at 9:30. (The Redbox machine has been removed.)
With nearby competition, construction and changing clientele, the Curry Hollow Road Foodland will soon be out of business.
The grocery store, which has been owned by Kenneth Krall for the past four-and-a-half years and located at the Curry Hollow Shopping Center for the past 28, is selling the remainder of its merchandise at a 40-percent discount until, essentially, the store runs out of stuff (exceptions to discount: milk and tobacco).
When the groceries are gone, even the shelves and light fixtures will be sold, an employee said on Friday.
Hopefully, another business will replace the store, but Foodland is merely the latest business to leave Curry Hollow—found on the border of Baldwin and Pleasant Hills boroughs.
What would you like to see replace the Foodland on Curry Hollow? Give us your best idea please in the comments section below.

Pier I Imports / Ikea / Whole Foods / Trader Joes would be my suggestions!

Those stores would all be nice, but considering the locations proximity to Leland Point, you will more than likely end up with an expanded dollar general or perhaps a nice Goodwill Thrift store.

My Vision for vacancy would be a k to12 - Community Academic Resource Center.
The hard part is finding a non profit that would support and fund it. Volunteers could run it. Does anyone have connections? I still dare to dream even though they may never come true!

Rumour claims Wal-Mart is interested ? How about Bob Evans? Closest one is at Century Three the other on 19 in Peters Twp. Move the police and fire to this central loacation.

I will miss the Foodland Store,because they delivered grocery's. When you are home bound that is a blessing when a local store will deliver to you fresh meat and vegtable's. I will miss the Store,and the people who worked so hard to get the orders out to you and always carried it out to your kitchen or where ever you asked them to. I hope they all find jobs and I hope it will be another food store who also will deliver.

With all the crime that we are seeing at the Villages of the South Hills (fmr. Leland Point), I would suggest that this facility be turned into a place for community outreach. We could show movies and discuss how a life of crime does not pay off and the straight and narrow is the way to go (ask Al Capone). Also, we could have guest speakers like “The Pittsburgh Kid” Paul Spadafora and Bruno Sammartino.
A perfect person to run this said facility could be the Dean of Students. Crack dat wip, Bull!!! Haha. Lol. I am being facetious. This would need to be a joint effort by the community.
I love Whitehall! Have a great day all!

Value City Department Store would be great but they closed down all their stores in the United States and only sell furniture now. I would love to see a TJ Max come to the area. The closest ones are at the Waterfront, Bridgeville and Donaldson Crossroads. I wont' drive into Homestead at night so I have my choice of going to either Donaldson Crossroads or Bridgeville at night to go shopping.
