Shrinking Rainbow Foods Will Close Two More Stores

Rainbow Foods is quietly closing two more stores in the north metro citing increased competition and changing consumer habits, bringing to five the number that have been shuttered in the Twin Cities over the past year.

Rainbow’s store on Central Avenue in Columbia Heights is shutting its doors for good this week, and its Brooklyn Park location will close in mid-February, according to store employees.

Rainbow also has closed stores in Plymouth, Forest Lake and Robbinsdale. The supermarket chain, which is owned by Milwaukee-based Roundy’s, will be down to 27 stores in the Twin Cities.
