Albertsons is shutting down two stores in North Texas, adding to the list of sites that have been shuttered.
The grocer is closing a retail site in Fort Worth and another in Euless, according to letters sent to the Texas Workforce Commission. More than 135 positions will be affected, and the company is looking to place them in other locations.
The stores are set to close on or before April 25.
The Fort Worth store is at 6700 W. Freeway, and it’s set to lose 56 employees while the Euless site is at 1155 N. Main St., and 82 employees are to be affected there, the letters show. The workers were informed of the closures earlier this month.

Albertsons, which owns brands including Tom Thumb and Safeway, has been shutting down some stores even as it invests in new developments amid rising competition with rivals such as H-E-B and Walmart. Last year, it closed its Tom Thumb sites in Allen and Plano – though it has been expanding locally elsewhere, including a site in Argyle earlier this month.
