Kroger has internally announced that it is eliminating as many as 200 positions across three office sites at its headquarters in Cincinnati, reported Supermarket News. “Kroger spokesperson Erin Rolfes confirmed that Kroger has laid off employees but provided no details about the restructuring,” the outlet reported.

“As we continue delivering fresh, affordable food to our customers, we are focusing on key priority areas that support our go-to-market strategy. As part of this prioritization work, we announced team restructures and a small number of eliminated roles to improve efficiency,” Kroger said.

Supermarket News wrote that the layoffs took place last week and include Kroger staff located at its downtown Cincinnati headquarters, along with the company’s data compilation and analysis unit and its technology and digital team.

The Cincinnati Business Courier reported that the layoffs “were not connected to the grocer’s failed merger with Albertsons last year.”

The news follows a round of layoffs planned for Albertsons, reported Supermarket News. Last week, it was revealed that Albertsons plans to lay off nearly 400 corporate employees—225 in Phoenix and 156 across two locations in Pleasanton, California.

Reuters reported last month that after suing Kroger in December, Albertsons raised its profit forecast and its CEO talked up investments meant to weather competition from bigger retailers.

In other recent layoff news, last month, Starbucks said it expects to eliminate front office jobs as part of its broader operations strategy. CEO Brian Niccol said he did not specify how many positions would be cut but clarified they would not affect in-store teams. An announcement is expected by early March.

Niccol stated that the company needs to reduce “silos and duplications of effort,” indicating that having too many managers and coordinators could be slowing down the coffee shop chain.
