Kroger shoppers take notice! The grocery store chain is closing three more stores in the Raleigh-Durham area earlier than announced.

• The store at 3825 S. Roxboro Street in Durham will close July 30
• The store at 7905 Falls of the Neuse Road in Raleigh will close August 1
• The store at 3420 Southwest Durham Drive in Durham will close August 8

Originally, Kroger was set to close 14 stores on August 14.

"The stores are closing because their inventory is too low to give customers a solid selection of food and groceries," said Allison McGee, corporate affairs manager of the Mid-Atlantic Division.

In addition, three Kroger pharmacies will close earlier than announced:

• 202 W. Hwy 54, Durham will close July 3
• 3457 Hillsborough Road, Durham will close August 1
• 8345 Creedmoor Road, Raleigh will close August 2

Associates at the Kroger stores and pharmacies that are closing before the announced date of August 14 will be transferred to other Kroger stores in the Raleigh-Durham market.

Kroger is scheduled to close the remaining 10 stores and 11 pharmacies August 14.
