Kroger plans to shut down 60 locations nationwide over the next 18 months in a strategic effort to improve operational efficiency, despite exceeding profit expectations. One of the affected locations is the Jay-C Food Store in downtown Shoals, where staff were notified this week that the store will permanently close on July 31.
