The Pavilions supermarket at 845 E. California Blvd. near South Lake Avenue in Pasadena is scheduled to close on September 5, an Albertson Companies spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The company said Pavilions and Vons have served Pasadena for 48 years.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the company said the decision to close the store \u201cisn\u2019t one we made lightly,\u201d adding that \u201cwith our focus on growth, we continuously evaluate the performance of our stores and occasionally it\u2019s necessary to close locations that do not meet financial expectations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Albertsons said its priority is supporting associates through the transition and that it is working to identify opportunities for affected associates at nearby stores, \u201cconsistent with applicable laws and the labor agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company said it remains committed to serving the Pasadena community at its other Vons neighborhood locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pavilions is operated by Vons, the Southern California supermarket division of Albertsons Companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

District 7 Councilmember Jason Lyon, whose district includes the store, said he learned of the closure this week and called it \u201cbad news, and sad news, for our neighborhood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lyon said the store \u201chas been a walkable, full-service market for several residential neighborhoods in District 7\u201d and that \u201cits absence likely means more car trips, less choice, and less convenience for many residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a personal note, Lyon said he was disappointed to lose staff friendships built over the years, including with \u201cFrank, the general manager.\u201d Lyon said his sons \u201chave grown up going to that market, and it was one of the first outings they were allowed to make on their own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will miss it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lyon said the city\u2019s Economic Development Department and his office \u201cwill be working to identify prospects for a new tenant at the site\u201d in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
