Kroger to close Fred Meyer store on Evergreen Way in Everett

EVERETT — Supermarket giant Kroger will close the Fred Meyer store at 8530 Evergreen Way in Everett, citing a rise in theft as one the reasons, the company said in a statement on Monday.

In addition to Everett, a Fred Meyer in Kent will also be shuttered, said Kroger spokesperson Tiffany Sanders in a statement.

Richard Smith, a spokesman for United Food and Commercial Workers Local 3000, said the union was told the closures were planned for either Oct. 16 or Oct. 17. Sanders said the closures were scheduled for October but did not give a specific date.
