“The closures come as Kroger announced plans last month to acquire regional grocery chain Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, which would add another 197 supermarkets and 11 standalone pharmacies across northern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.”

They’re closing a bunch of stores, but opening up a bunch more, plus additional pharmacies which an AGING POPULATION desperately needs.

I have 18 years of Retail Management behind me, and grocery stores have the smallest margins of any kind of retail outfits. This article makes them sound as if they’re EVIL, but it’s just business.

Also - if cities would clean up their higher crime areas, businesses wouldn’t move out. Not a good way to run your city, if you ask me.
