It would be an understatement to say America’s largest supermarket chain has been undergoing some major changes over the last year. For instance, the retailer recently announced that it will be divesting 413 locations to C&S Wholesale Grocers for $2 billion as part of its controversial proposed merger with Albertsons.
Before this news, Kroger closed two Ohio stores—one in East Dayton and another in Riverside. However, this didn’t leave the Dayton, Ohio, area without a Kroger. The grocery chain opened another Riverside location just one day after these closures.
In terms of in-store operations, at the end of November, Kitchen United, a ghost kitchen operator, confirmed that it will be closing all seven food halls located inside Kroger. The company said it’s looking to focus on its software business and didn’t cite any additional reasons behind the ghost kitchen closures.
