Pretty shocking news on Friday that supermarket chain ShopRite will be closing its five stores throughout the area.
In a statement obtained by the Times Union, the company says Capital Region stores have been struggling to make a profit.
Today, due to changing market conditions and the influx of food retailers in the area, we are unable to maintain the level of sales needed to keep operating these locations. As a result, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the stores.
ShopRite arrived in the Capital Region about ten years ago and has stores in Albany, Bethlehem, Colonie, Niskayuna and North Greenbush,
It is not yet known how long the stores will continue to operate.
