ALTON - A rumor has been circulating that the Oakwood Schnucks in Alton now closed would remain shut down permanently, but company officials said Friday that no such decision has been made about the location's future fate.

"The Oakwood Schnucks in Alton, Illinois, will remain closed at this time so that teammates from this store can assist at other locations," Schnucks media relations group said today in a statement. "A reopening date has not yet been determined for this store."
