Kroger Shuts Down Stores in Midwest

Kroger is closing a bunch of stores—including a longtime Peoria spot and five Pick ‘n Save locations around Milwaukee. The company says these stores just weren’t making enough money, but it’s still a shock for locals who rely on them. Kroger’s promising to transfer employees to other spots, but it’s still a big shakeup for shoppers. They’re not shrinking overall, though—just shifting focus and pouring cash into upgrades elsewhere. Anyone else worried about fewer grocery options? #Food #Kroger #StoreClosures
