Kroger is taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of its customers and employees during the ongoing winter storm. All Columbus Division stores will be closing early at 6 p.m. on Sunday, affecting 115 locations across Ohio and West Virginia, including Columbus, Toledo, and Wheeling. This decision comes as a response to the severe weather conditions, with central Ohio experiencing heavy snowfall and a Level 2 or Level 3 snow emergency in most counties.
The storm's impact is significant, with reports of six inches of snow in central Ohio cities and even higher amounts in some areas. Giant Eagle has also announced early closures, shutting its doors at 4 p.m. on Sunday. The cold weather will persist, with brutally cold temperatures expected to remain for the rest of the week after the snow stops late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
Kroger's decision to close early is a responsible move, prioritizing the well-being of its community during challenging weather conditions. Customers are advised to plan their shopping accordingly and stay informed about weather updates for further guidance.
