Three more Fresh & Easy grocery stores are going out of business in Las Vegas after failed attempts to increase revenue.

The stores scheduled for closing are in the eastern valley at Nellis Boulevard and Desert Inn Road, Tropicana Avenue and Nellis and Charleston Boulevard at Sloan Lane.

Company executives said they are “working to place as many impacted employees as possible in other stores.”

The Fresh & Easy website shows 17 stores in the Las Vegas area, leaving 14 after the closures.

In March, Fresh & Easy announced the closure of about 50 stores in California, Arizona and Nevada. Two stores in the Las Vegas area were sold or closed: one at Tropicana and Jones Boulevard and one at Centennial Parkway and Simmons Street in North Las Vegas.

Los Angeles-based The Yucaipa Cos. bought the chain out of bankruptcy in 2013 from British retailer Tesco.

Since that time, the company gradually changed the stores' look and introduced a new "click and collect" service in Las Vegas that allows shoppers to buy online and pick up the purchased items at the store.
