North Fort Myers grocery store reopens after being hit by car

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. —

Lawhon's Grocery & Meat, a North Fort Myers grocery store, reopened Monday after being hit by a car on Friday night.

According to a Facebook post, the grocery store, which also serves as a butcher shop and gas station, reopened Monday morning after a car crashed into the storefront.

The Facebook post said the store will be under construction, so customers should enter through the Nalle Road entrance, as a crew will be in the front parking spaces.

Lawhon's acknowledged the store may look different as it works through repairs, but it is still ready to serve customers with sweet tea, biscuits and gravy and all the essentials they may need.

"Thank you so much for the support, kind messages, and patience," the Facebook post said. "We can’t wait to see y’all back in the store!"
