Kroger has closed at least three dozen stores since announcing plans last year to shutter 60 locations that were not “delivering sustainable results” by the end of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati-based grocery giant did not release a full list of stores or banners slated for closure, but online searches listed 39 locations across nine banners as no longer operating. Local reports also confirmed that many of the locations were part of the broader store overhaul.<\/p>\n

As of January 2026, Kroger operated 2,697 supermarkets across 35 states under roughly 20 banners, including Fred Meyer, Fry\u2019s Food and Drug, Harris Teeter, Jay C, King Soopers, Mariano\u2019s, Pick \u2019n Save, QFC and Ralphs, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company said the closures are intended to help it “run more efficiently and ensure the long-term health of our business,” according to FOX 26 Houston, which reported that two Houston-area locations were slated to close in April.<\/p>\n

The closures come as Kroger announced plans last month to acquire regional grocery chain Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, which would add another 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies across northern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.<\/p>\n

The acquisition is expected to strengthen Kroger\u2019s presence across several Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At least three of the impacted locations were or are expected to be replaced by Kroger Marketplace stores as part of the company\u2019s efforts to consolidate operations. Kroger Marketplace stores are larger-format locations that offer an expanded selection of non-grocery merchandise, including clothing, toys, home goods and furniture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
