EMERYVILLE, Calif. (KABC) — Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is closing 36 underperforming stores nationwide, including several locations in Southern California.
Jason Potter, President and CEO of the California-based retailer, said the closures are a cost-cutting correction for expanding too quickly.
