Kroger Closing 60 Stores Including These Indiana Locations

Kroger to Close 60 Stores — What It Means for Shoppers
Grocery giant Kroger, which operates over 1,200 stores across 35 states, just announced it will shutter 60 locations nationwide over the next 18 months—about 5% of its footprint (people.com, wsbt.com). Despite beating profit expectations last quarter, with net income at $866 million and growth in pharmacy and e‑commerce segments, Kroger is rolling out a strategic trimming of underperforming sites—part of a broader push to streamline operations (wsj.com).
