Kroger said Thursday it is shuttering its only Norfolk store. The company plans to close the location on Little Creek Road in mid-December, a move that will impact 102 employees.
Kroger, whose Mid-Atlantic division is based in Roanoke, made the decision due to declining sales and profitability.
“This store’s low financial returns made it impossible to continue to operate while still upholding our low-price commitment to our customers,” Jerry Clontz, president of Kroger’s Mid-Atlantic Division, said in a statement.
Clontz said the company is working with impacted employees to identify potential positions at nearby stores.
