With several Kroger-owned stores closed across the US, five pick-and-save stores are set to close in Wisconsin.
The grocery chain has confirmed that five locations in southeastern Wisconsin have been closed to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA Today network.
“This closure is part of a larger company-wide decision to operate more efficiently and ensure the long-term health of our business,” the spokesperson said on June 23.
The closure will be underway as Pick n’Save’s parent company Kroger said it will close 60 locations nationwide over the next 18 months.
Kroger spokesman Erin Rolfes told USA that it would not publish a full list of closures on USA Today, but several locations have been identified through media reports from several states, including Illinois, Kentucky and Texas.
Pick N’Save did not immediately respond to a request for comment on USA Today on June 24th.
