(Sacramento County) It really hit me hard, as I've been shopping at this particular location for a good 30 years. It was my go-to for many staples, and they had good spring planting starts for the garden. And it was only a quarter-mile away, very walkable if necessary.

I remember when it first started as Canned Food Outlet aka "Smashed Can Warehouse" in Yuba City in the 80's. Mostly seconds and dented canned food, a few staples and cheap jug wine. It felt like this when 99 cent store closed too, like the end of an era.
