Union Township Administrator Ken Geis has been hard at work looking for a new tenant for the Eastgate Bigg’s store, which is expected to be vacated by June 1.

Geis said he spoke with Bill Remke of Remke Markets recently to see if the grocer was interested in purchasing the Bigg’s store along with the seven other Bigg’s locations he has already made arrangements with.

Bigg’s owner SUPERVALU announced at the end of March it would be closing all Bigg’s locations in the Cincinnati area.
