Save-on-Meats is one of the last businesses standing from the glory days of Hastings Street downtown. Its neon sign — two flying pigs holding money bags that read "$," separated by a three-storey high revolving bit that reads "$ave-on" on one side, "Meat$" on the flip — is a beloved Vancouver icon.But just as the Woodward's redevelopment is set to open and Hastings Street may enjoy a commercial renaissance, it may be closing.[/p]Owner Al DesLauriers is 78, and wants to retire. He quietly put the Save-on-Meats building at 43 West Hastings up for sale last year for $3 million, and may close the business down on March 14 if he can't find a buyer.[/p]alternative story from straight.com[a href="vny!://www.straight.com/article-170703/confirmed-iconic-saveonmeats-closing" class="l" onmousedown="return clk(this.href,'','','res','5','')"]Vancouver's iconic [em]Save-on-Meats[/em] is closing[/a][/p]
