LifeWay Christian Resources is making the shift to online shopping and will close 170 brick-and-mortar stores in 2019, which includes two in Jacksonville. 

The decision comes after a decline in customer traffic and sales through its retail locations. 

"While we had hoped to keep some stores open, current market projections show this is no longer a viable option," CEO Brad Waggoner said. 

The company says it will continue to offer a broad selection of resources through their website, LifeWay.com

LifeWay had a location at the St. Johns Town Center and another off Old Middleburg Road in Oakleaf.
