Grocer closes one Vegas store, opens another

Albertson's Inc. of Boise, Idaho, said it closed an underperforming store in Las Vegas at 1200 S. Decatur Blvd., near Charleston Boulevard.

Miguel Gutierrez, Albertson's spokesman, said the company also opened a store recently at 8410 Farm Road in Northwest Las Vegas.

The closure was the second in six months in Las Vegas. A store at 3736 E. Desert Inn Road was closed June 11, and was replaced by a new store at 2885 E. Desert Inn Road.

Gutierrez said the majority of the 75-100 workers at each of the two closed stores were either placed at the new stores or other stores in the vicinity.
