King Soopers will close a store in Centennial next month.
The grocery chain’s last day at 5050 E. Arapahoe Road will be Aug. 16, according to a company spokeswoman, adding employees are being given the opportunity to transfer to other stores.
The move is a part of a larger plan by its Cincinnati-based parent company Kroger. Last month, the company said it would close 60 stores over the next 18 months.
There’s another King Soopers 1.25 miles north of the one that will close.
No other Colorado closures have been announced.
In Denver, a King Soopers is under construction at 4201 E. Arkansas Ave. It will replace the existing store at 825 S. Colorado Blvd.
