City Councilman Kristerfer Burnett confirmed on Facebook that LA Mart will soon take over the large vacant space at the Edmondson Square shopping center.

“I can’t wait to be there in February 2025,” he said in a video with new Councilwoman Paris Gray.

LA Mart says it is a “locally owned and operated international grocer” that opened its first location in 2004.

Giant Food was the only supermarket in Edmondson Village.
