(Cincinnati, OH) - Last week, Kroger announced that it’s closing 60 stores nationwide. Two of those locations are in northern Indiana, but not in La Porte.

The company has confirmed that Kroger locations on Western Avenue in South Bend and in Elkhart are on the chopping block and are expected to close by early August.

The Cincinnati-based retailer operates over 2,700 locations. The closures represent about a 2% downsize. The news comes months after a failed merger with competitor Alberson’s.
