It is expected that residents and staff will gather at 4pm to mark the sad occasion for the community.
The Waitrose store on Stratford Road first opened its doors in 1971 and has since been a staple in the Hall Green community.
The closure of the Stratford Road store means there will be only three Waitrose supermarkets left in Birmingham in Harborne, Streetly and Hopwood Park services.
