The Kroger supermarket at Highway 78 and Bethany Church Road in Snellville will close its doors to customers for the last time Tuesday evening.
The store announced it would be closing last month. It's winding down operations and liquidating its inventory, with Tuesday, May 9 as its final day open.
“Its closure is necessary to make Kroger more competitive in the market,” Kroger spokesman Felix Turner told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in April.
All items remaining in the store are up to 50 percent off, a spokesman said. Some shoppers have been stocking up on frozen and non-perishable foods being sold at deep discounts. Scott and Ashleigh Jenkins of Lilburn filled two carts with food and spent less than $200, Scott Jenkins said.

The store’s 118 employees were offered new positions at different Kroger locations and many accepted, Turner said. The nearest Kroger location is six miles away on Scenic Highway, also in Snellville.
