Overview

• Ten locations in Colorado and one each in New Mexico and Nebraska are slated to shut, including four in the Denver metro area and two in Colorado Springs.
• Company notices set a closure date on or before Nov. 7, 2025 for all affected stores.
• Albertsons says the closures follow the consolidation of its Intermountain and Denver divisions into the new Mountain West Division.
• Safeway says it will try to place affected employees in nearby stores, with local reports in Colorado indicating the impact will reach into the hundreds.
• Lamar’s mayor cited a WARN letter and communications with Safeway pointing to lower sales, strike-related expenses earlier this year, and the failed Kroger deal as contributing factors.
