SHELTON, CT — Adams Hometown Market is set to close its Shelton store location later this month, according to a spokesperson.

A spokesperson for Bozzuto's Inc., a Cheshire-based wholesale distributor that owns the Adams Hometown Market chain, confirmed to Patch on Wednesday the Shelton store is currently planned to close on about Oct. 10.
