Six more QFC and Fred Meyer stores are shutting down in Western Washington, hitting neighborhoods like Lake City and Redmond especially hard. Hundreds of workers are affected, and many locals worry these closures will make it even tougher to find affordable groceries nearby—especially in lower-income areas. While Fred Meyer says employees will be offered jobs elsewhere, union leaders and community members argue this move could create new food deserts and hurt working families. With Kroger’s profits up since 2019, is this really about business, or something bigger? How do you think these closures will impact your daily life or neighborhood? #Business #LocalBusiness #Seattle
