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
