It isnt known if any of the employees at Onley were transferred and how many jobs were lost. The Eastern Shore Fresh Pride chain started over 40 years ago as Meatland Supermarkets and at one time had stores as far North as Harrington Deleware and Cambridge Maryland.
The chain was sold several years ago to Camellia Stores in Norfolk which also operates Be Lo stores in the Tidewater area. The Onley store faced strong competition from Food Lion and then Wal Mart.
The stores in Exmore, Parksley and Chincoteague remain open for business.
