PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Two local food businesses - one new, one not - are closing their doors next month.

Harry's Supermarket on Elm Street will shutter, along with Brulees restaurant on North Street.

Sixteen years ago, Harry's Supermarket had one store on Wahconah Street. But when the old A&P supermarket on Elm Street closed, the Nichols family decided to open a second store there. For more than a decade it has served the local neighborhood with the same service that the Wahconah Street store served its neighborhood.

Now, the Nichols family has announced that the Elm Street Harry's Supermarket will be closing. A sign on the door of the Elm Street store says it will be closing on or about March 15. Bob and Tom Nichols said they have enjoyed serving the Elm Street neighborhood for the last 16 years and hope that customers will continue to shop at the original Wahconah Street store.

Brulees was opened by Ken and Cara Peckham in 2010 in the former Bobby Hudpuckers and soon became a gathering site for local pols. The couple told the Berkshire Eagle they will concentrate on their catering business so they can spend more time with their young children.

SALISBURY, Md. -- The Berkshire Force 16-and-under travel softball team Monday started play with a pair of losses at the United States Specialty Sports Association's Eastern National Championship.
 
Its first game came against the Jersey Storm of New Jersey, which earned a 6-2 win in four innings.
 
Julia McComish went 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI, and Amaya Alger and Markiara Jackson each had a hit for the Force.
 
Ava McMahon took the loss in the circle after striking out four and allowing five earned runs in three innings of work.
 
Berkshire's second game was against the Complete Game Academy squad out of Pennsylvania.
 
The Force jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, but CGA took control with four in the third inning and ended up winning a game cut to four innings due to the tournament's time constraints.
 
The Force piled up seven hits in the loss. McComish and Lexi Spratling each had a hit and an RBI.
