Four major grocery stores in Illinois—including Kroger in Peoria and three Mariano’s locations—are shutting their doors this August as part of a wave of 60 closures nationwide. Rising food prices and shifting shopping habits are forcing big changes in where we buy our groceries. While this means fewer options for some neighborhoods, Kroger says workers will be offered jobs at other stores, and there are plans to invest in new locations where demand is growing. How do you think these closures will impact your community? Are you seeing similar changes in your area? #Business #LocalBusiness #Illinois
