A Louisville-area Kroger is closing its doors in 2 weeks, with employees to be relocated

The Kroger grocery store in New Albany will close its doors on Oct. 7, a spokesperson for the company confirmed Friday.

Jessica Sharp, a company representative, said the 75 employees who work at the store, located at 3400 Grant Line Road in the Southern Indiana city, will be offered positions at other Kroger locations in the region. She said the store is closing because it was not making enough profit.

"The store has struggled to be profitable for many years and the financial projections for future years trended worse than anticipated and forced us to make this difficult decision," Sharp said.

The other two Kroger stores in New Albany, on Charlestown Road and State Street, will still remain in business, Sharp said.
