Spruce Hill Provisions, a small local grocery/general store located near 46th and Baltimore, is closing its doors after less than four years in business. The store, “selling local products wherever possible,” from produce to baked goods to flowers and gifts, opened in 2021 at 4529 Baltimore Avenue.

The last day of operation will be March 31. The owner, Elizabeth Planet, who lives in the neighborhood, has decided to dedicate all her time to nonprofit work.

“Given everything that’s going on at the federal level at the moment, I have decided to devote myself fully to my nonprofit/social impact work,” she posted on Spruce Hill Provision’s Instagram page. “It has been a joy to serve the community we live in and love since 2021, and I’m sorry I can no longer keep it going.”

She also added that if someone is interested in taking over the lease and acquiring the inventory and equipment, they should email her at elizabeth@sprucehillprovisions.com.

“I would be pleased to introduce you to our wonderful landlord Joe.​​”

The store has extended evening hours until its closing at the end of the month: Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and Saturday & Sunday 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. You can also shop online at: www.sprucehillprovisions.com.
