Grocery Outlet Bargain Market Announces Plans to Close Stores Nationwide
Grocery Outlet Bargain Market has been rapidly expanding across the country, but that appears to have slowed. On an earning call earlier this week, the company announced that they had “expanded too quickly,” and would need to slow down in 2026.
The earnings call had poor results for the fourth quarter of 2025, but the chain actually opened 42 new stores last year.
“Our fourth-quarter results were unacceptable, and our outlook for 2026 reflects a business that has more work to do than we expected,” the company's CEO Jason Potter said on the call. “I own this and own fixing the issues.”
