Kroger Is Closing Stores: See the Updated List That Shows Shuttered Locations Across the Country

The grocery giant appears to be more than halfway through its previously announced plan to shutter 60 stores, according to a Fast Company review.

Groceries are a little harder to come by in dozens of neighborhoods this year in the wake of an ongoing retreat from The Kroger Co.

The Cincinnati-based supermarket company has been shuttering locations since June of last year, when it announced a footprint optimization plan that would result in the closure of about 60 stores.

According to a Fast Company review of local media reports and online review platforms like Yelp, Kroger could be more than halfway through that process. Some 33 stores have already closed, with at least three more confirmed so far this year.

Closures in the months since the announcement largely impact stores under the flagship Kroger banner, but also include Kroger-owned Fred Meyer, Fry’s Food and Drug, Harris Teeter, Jay C, King Soopers, Mariano’s, Pick ’n Save, and QFC locations.

Kroger has not publicly provided a list of locations that would be impacted by its plan, which was disclosed in a quarterly earnings report and was expected to bring “modest financial benefit.”

It’s unclear how many jobs have been lost by Kroger’s plan. As of early 2025, when it last filed an annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it had 409,000 full- and part-time employees. Kroger said it operated 2,731 supermarkets at that time.
