Food For Less
River Roads Mall's Kroger was converted to an independent supermarket called Food For Less after Kroger pulled out of the St. Louis market in 1986. Food For Less was the last operating store at River Roads Mall because they owned the land under their store. Despite the mall's 1995 closure and 2006 demolition Food For Less stayed open for business through their external entrance, and access to the mall from the Food For Less store was blocked off. Food For Less finally closed in 2009 and their store, the final standing piece of River Roads Mall was demolished in 2011.

“Architecture might be more sportive and varied if every man built his own house, but it would not be the art and science that we have made it; and while every woman prepares food for her own family, cooking can never rise beyond the level of the amateur’s work.”

“Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
with its store of food and little cooking pans
and change of clothes,”
