According to Grocery Dive, an internal company memo from Kroger’s CEO Ron Sargent said these reductions are part of structural changes to its administrative teams across the U.S., aiming to simplify Kroger and refocus priorities.

This latest round of job cuts marks the third round of layoffs at Kroger in just eight months. This indicates, “The company is working to rebound following its failed merger attempt with Albertsons,” said Grocery Dive.
