HOUSTON — Randalls has confirmed five more of its stores in the Houston area will close by late February 2020.
In a statement to KHOU 11's Tiffany Craig, the company said the closures were due to "a competitive environment."
Randalls, which is part of the Albertsons and Tom Thumb group, plans to "reinvest in our remaining stores in the marketplace."
The stores set to close in this latest are described as under-performing.
"We are working diligently to place as many employees as possible in other locations, and we remain committed to the Houston market area," stated a company spokeswoman Monday. "We invite customers to shop at our remaining Randalls locations throughout the Houston and surrounding area, several of which were remodeled in 2019."
The stores closing by February were identified as:
- #1057, 4540 Kingwood Drive, Kingwood TX
- #1776, 600 Kingwood Drive, Kingwood TX
- #2673, 2250 Buckthorne Place, The Woodlands TX
- #3054, 4775 West Panther Creek, The Woodlands TX
- #4062, 2323 Clear Lake City Boulevard, Houston TX
The liquidation for these stores begins Wednesday, Jan. 15.
After the five impacted stores close, Randalls will have 17 stores in the greater Houston area.
