Overview

  • Mariano’s Buffalo Grove at 450 W. Half Day Road will shutter on August 8, followed by Bloomingdale on August 15 and Northbrook on August 22.
  • Kroger has committed to offer every affected associate a transfer to another store.
  • The company says the closures are necessary to run more efficiently and safeguard its long-term business health.
  • These Chicago-area shutdowns are included in a broader effort to close roughly 60 underperforming stores nationwide.
  • Kroger acquired Mariano’s from Roundy’s Supermarkets in 2015 after the chain replaced former Dominick’s locations in the region.
