ATLANTA - Kroger’s Atlanta Division has announced that its store at 3300 Cobb Parkway SE near Paces Mill Road SE will close on Aug. 17. After 44 years of operation, the store’s lease is set to expire on Nov. 30.

NOTE: An earlier version of this story said the lease would expire on Aug. 30. The incorrect information was provided by Kroger. 

"We appreciate the loyalty and support of our customers and look forward to continuing to serve their needs at nearby Kroger locations," said Victor Smith, president of Kroger’s Atlanta Division.

Customers affected by the closure can shop at the following nearby Kroger stores:

  • 4715 S Atlanta Rd SE, Smyrna, GA 30339

All 70 employees from the closing store will be reassigned to other Kroger locations, following the company’s collective bargaining agreement. Kroger representatives will meet with the affected staff to discuss reassignment options and opportunities in the coming weeks.
