Very sad that people will be losing their jobs, and food deserts will be created. Because Democrats refuse to clean up their disgusting cities.

Kroger, the parent company of Fred Meyer, announced Monday it will close two Puget Sound locations this fall as part of a broader cost-cutting strategy following the collapse of its proposed merger with Albertsons.

The company said its Fred Meyer stores in Everett (8530 Evergreen Way) and Kent (10201 S.E. 240th St.) will shut down in mid-October. Both closures were confirmed by the union representing affected workers.

“Unfortunately, due to a steady rise in theft and a challenging regulatory environment that adds significant costs, we can no longer make these stores financially viable,” a Fred Meyer spokesperson told The Seattle Times.

The decision comes as Cincinnati-based Kroger works to shutter underperforming stores nationwide. The company, which operates 59 Fred Meyer and 55 QFC locations in Washington, announced in June that it plans to close 60 stores across the U.S. over the next 18 months.

They should just arm all the checkout clerks.

It might not stop the theft, but it would make the in-store CCTV a lot more interesting.

Thank you for this WONDERFUL news!!!!

Kroger is just as EVIL, CORRUPT, ANTI-employee, and ANTI-customer as Hellmart and Crackhead Barrel.

Hope they collapse into a burning pile of toxic waste.

Bummer. Hubby and I always enjoyed shopping at Fred Myer in Fremont, and I can't imagine how it's gone downhill in the 10 years since we moved away. When we moved, that area was home to lots of derelict RV's that housed drug dealers. I won't be surprised to hear that they're next in line.

Good-bye Washington. It was nice knowing ya.

They closed our last one about 20 years ago for more or less the same reason but it was theft and unionization made them unprofitable. When people wanted to spend money they went to Food Lion but when they wanted to steal crap they went to Kroger.

And how does that fit the narrative of the thread?

Its ok. MAGA. Country just has dollar stores.

EXTREMELY

Don't shop there.

Personally, I avoid any store with the word "Dollar" in it's name.

Not because they're evil, I just try to avoid their clientele

Worse than the white fat people at Walmart

Did you know that when stores closed because of theft and looting, it's always the work of one demographic responsible.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

They steal and stores close up...then they wonder why they don't have a grocery store

 

[LeftofLeft]

Its ok. MAGA. Country just has dollar stores.

It’s ok, Socialist. The Efficiency of Government run markets are coming to the Blue Cities.

If you keep your liberal policies you'll have nothing.

I don't shop there, and haven't since they treated me like garbage.

Aint nothing wrong with dollar stores, for some stuff.
Most of the dollar stores around here carry name brands too, at half the price of other stores......or less.

Leftists always play the race card game but never hold themselves accountable.

This Safeway has been at the same location for awhile until Newsom said looting and shoplifting are legal during Covid. Guess what comes next? This was the only major grocery store in a black neighborhood. They sure love to shoot themselves in the foot don’t they.
