The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe of New York is reducing the size of its grocery store by about half.

First Americans IGA will be cut from 50,000 square-feet to about 27,000 square-feet. The store was too big to serve the community, the manager said.

"It's hard to stock it; it doesn't look good if you have empty shelves," Bonnie E. McDonald told The Watertown Daily Times.

The tribe will erect a divider in the store and use the remainder of the space for other purposes, perhaps for new businesses.
