Kroger, the popular grocery chain, has announced the closure of three cross-docking spoke facilities in its Texas and Florida e-commerce operations. The affected facilities, located in Austin, San Antonio, and Miami, are set to cease operations at the end of May. Despite efforts to make these facilities successful, Kroger stated that they did not meet the company's benchmarks for success.
All impacted associates have been offered alternative opportunities within the company, according to a Kroger spokesperson. The closure of these spoke facilities does not signal a retreat from e-commerce for Kroger, as the company remains committed to expanding its online offerings and delivering fresh food to more communities across the United States.
