West Point Market in Akron, among Ohio's largest gourmet food markets, will be closing its doors by the end of this year and be replaced, possibly, by a branch of the nationwide Whole Foods Market chain. Owners of the 80-year-old family-owned store were expected to inform the 100-member staff Friday morning and entice them to stay through the finale, according to a story by the Akron Beacon Journal at Ohio.com.
