Kroger to close remaining Triangle-area stores earlier than planned

Kroger is closing its 10 remaining stores in the Raleigh-Durham area Saturday, which is earlier than planned.

The stores will close at 8 p.m. because of products selling faster than expected, said Allison McGee, corporate affairs manager for Kroger's Mid-Atlantic Division.

Associates will be provided the opportunity to work through Aug. 14.
