Winnipeg Food Fare locations posted signs in their windows asking customers to complain to the province about the law. (Travis Golby/CBC)Zeid said all five Winnipeg Food Fare stores were ordered closed by officials who visited the location at Portage Avenue and Burnell Street just after 10 a.m. while they were preparing to open. "If they want to stay open, it's their business … If the proprietors choose to stay open, I give them all the support that I possibly can." Customer Greg Burda questioned why other businesses are given the green light to stay open, while independent grocery stores are forced to close. Food Fare customer Greg Burda thinks grocery stores should be allowed to stay open on Good Friday.
