Two Albertsons grocery stores in North Texas will close by the end of April, affecting 138 employees.
In Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filings submitted by Albertsons Companies to the Texas Workforce Commission earlier this month, Albertsons said they have alerted all 138 employees about the store closures.
A Euless location with 82 employees and a west Fort Worth location with 56 empoyees will close permanently.
Albertsons operates more than 2,000 stores across the country under the Albertsons, Tom Thumb, Safeway and Market Street names.
Two other North Texas Tom Thumb stores closed in 2025 in Plano and Allen, while another Tom Thumb opened in December in Sanger.
Albertsons will close their stores located at 1155 N. Main Street in Euless and at 6700 W. Freeway in Fort Worth.
For the Fort Worth location, neighborhood residents will still have an Aldi (700 Alta Mere Dr.) one mile away and a Tom Thumb (6377 Camp Bowie Blvd.) two miles away.
When will the North Texas Albertsons stores close?
It states in the WARN documents that Albertsons in Euless and Fort Worth are both slated to close on or before April 25.
What is happening with the Kroger Albertsons brand merger?
As of 2024, a Federal Trade Commission judge blocked the merger to protect consumers from a potential monopoly and ultimately higher grocery prices.
So as of right now, the companies remain independent from each other.
For Kroger news in Fort Worth, the new store at 113 E. Bonds Ranch Road, immediately off the exit for U.S. 287, opened in October.
Another Kroger is planned for the Sendera Ranch community in far north Fort Worth. The store broke ground in June 2025 and construction is anticipated to take about 12 months.
