Summary
Grocery Outlet Bargain Market announced it will close 36 underperforming stores nationwide, including nine specific locations in California and several in Southern California. CEO Jason Potter said the closures are a cost-cutting correction after expanding too quickly and cited changes in SNAP benefits affecting the core customer base. The company plans to close the underperforming stores and terminate most deals linked to those operations by the end of the current fiscal year. The closures affect stores in California, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania, with nine California addresses listed explicitly.
