The company said it decided to close the stores after conducting a sales and earning review, which showed they could not remain competitive. It will have 19 stores in the San Antonio area after the three stores close Dec. 6. The stores combined employ 240 in the region.
Earlier this year, Albertsons said it would close 165 stores and make corporate level job reductions in an effort to reduce expenses. The company operates 2,500 stores in 36 states under names including Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, Sav-on Drugs and Max Foods.
