Grocery Outlet Bargain Market closing 36 underperforming stores, including several in Pennsylvania and New Jersey

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is closing 36 underperforming stores, including several in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Jason Potter, President and CEO of the California-based retailer, said the closures are a cost-cutting correction for expanding too quickly.

He also cited changes in SNAP benefits that have impacted the brand’s core customer base.

Stores in California, Idaho, Maryland, and Ohio will also be closing.

The company says they plan to complete the closures during the fiscal year.

Local locations slated for closure include two in Philadelphia, one in Chester County, and five in South Jersey.
