COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Kroger plans to close about 60 stores over the next year and a half, according to the company's first quarter earnings report.
A company spokesperson told NBC4 that there is no list of store closures to share at this time.
Kroger is expected to see a "modest financial benefit" from the store closures, but added that the savings will be reinvested back into customer experiences, and "will not impact full-year guidance."
