Hey drivers, have you heard the news? 🚛💨 Kroger’s set to shut down about 60 grocery stores across the U.S. over the next year and a half. That’s a big deal for those of us who sometimes rely on quick grocery stops on the road!
So, what’s the scoop? Kroger says they’re doing this to boost efficiency. What that really means for us is less availability of certain hotspots where we usually pick up supplies or grab a bite. Those pit stops can be a real lifesaver, especially when you’re running low on snacks or need a good meal after a long haul.
Now, this could also shake up some freight lanes—less grocery biz means adjustments for all those suppliers and fleets that depend on Kroger. If you’re pulling loads for them, keep an eye on those routes! 🚧
Remember, grocery stores often contribute a chunk to local traffic. Fewer stores could mean smoother hauls, but also less variety in where you can fill up those coolers. So make sure you’ve got your stops planned out before hitting the road. 📍
What do you think about this grocery shakeup? Is it gonna affect your routes or regular stops? Drop your thoughts below! Let’s keep the convo going and help each other out on the road. 🤔💬
Know this before your next haul! 🛣️
