Discount bread store in Urbana closes doors

URBANA – It was the high price of gas vs. the high price of bread, and apparently gas won out.

The Dolly Madison thrift shop in Urbana closed last week after more than 15 years in business. It was a haven for people looking for deals on bread. Loaves sold for no more than $1.45, compared with $2, $3 or $4 prices in grocery stores.
