Years ago we had five Kroger stores. One in each neighborhood. Kroger systematically closed them one by one. Offered employees transfers to other stores. As the last hurrah, they built a new Kroger, towards the "nice" side of town. It was larger than any of the other stores, but since the other five were closed, everyone has to go to the one store. It's a huge mess, it's packed, they are understaffed, things are always out of stock... We also had A&P and a couple smaller regional chain stores but they are all gone now.
