Kroger lays off hundreds

Grocery store chain Kroger is laying off hundreds of employees at its stores.

Company officials did not give an exact count. The company had nearly 500,000 full- and part-time workers at its stores as of fiscal 2018.

“As part of ongoing talent management, many store operating divisions are evaluating middle management roles and team structures with an eye toward keeping resources close to the customer,” a Kroger spokesperson said in a statement. “Store divisions operate independently but all of them are taking steps to ensure they have the right talent in the right store leadership positions.”
