SEATTLE — Kroger, the Ohio-based grocery corporation and owner of Fred Meyer and QFC, will be closing their Lake City and Redmond locations in October. This comes as the company just announced plans to close their Kent and Everett locations.

The company will be closing the location at 13000 Lake City Way NE and 17667 NE 76th St, according to UFCW 3000. A total of 343 workers will be affected by these closures alone.

In statements on the closures, Kroger attributed them to crime. The company has not provided any specific data in regards to those claims.

"From what I can tell, crime has calmed down since COVID. Kroger added security after we demanded it, and things have gotten way better," said Bryan Gilderoy, a produce clerk at the Kent Fred Meyer location that is closing.
