Kroger Closes 60 Stores This Year | Topeka News

from Topeka News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Kroger is on track to shutter sixty stores by year’s end, including brands like Harris Teeter and Pick ‘n Save across states like Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin—35 already closed—with all employees offered roles elsewhere. The move, part of a broader strategy, is expected to yield modest financial gains despite recent legal hurdles blocking its Albertsons merger. Meanwhile, Kroger plans a $1.65 billion buyout of Giant Eagle. Notably, Kansas-based Dillons—operating 63 stores—is unaffected, as confirmed by the company. With over 2,700 locations nationwide, these closures represent a small slice of Kroger’s footprint. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
