EDWARDS COUNTY, IL - Albion, Illinois is the county seat in Edwards County. It's the place to take care of local business, grab a bite to eat, and up until recently was the place to get your groceries for your home. Recently, that has changed with the closing of the county's only grocery store, Borowiak's IGA. Late in 2022, Trevor Borowiak made the announcement that the Borowiak Family was selling the building that housed the IGA and that the store would be closing at the end of January. The store liquidated their inventory and on January 27, Borowiak's IGA closed their doors for the final time. With the closure, that turned Edwards County into a food desert, or a region when they had limited access to healthful and or affordable food. The nearest grocery store to Edwards County is about 15 miles away to the east in Mount Carmel. While there is now not a grocery store in Albion, a few places around Edwards County are working on trying to help with the problem. Baile
