Some folks in Sandy Springs will have to find a new grocery.

The Kroger at 8331 Roswell Road will close its doors on Oct. 25.

Kroger spokesman Felix B. Turner said in a statement that the store has “experienced declining sales and negative profit over an extended period of time.”

The store has existed at that location for more than 35 years. With the closure, 89 jobs will be impacted.

A press release from the company says that all employees from this Kroger will be considered for reassignment to other Kroger stores. Representatives from the grocer will meet with employees to discuss reassignments and additional options in the coming weeks, the release says.
