Unsold Dominick’s Stores To Close Around Dec. 28

Dominick's stores that aren’t sold to competing grocers will close on or around Dec. 28, the store's parent company said in a letter to employees.

A spokeswoman for Dominick’s parent, California-based Safeway, said Thursday that the letters were sent to employees in accordance with state and federal laws regarding business changes that will lead to the potential loss of jobs.

In Illinois, employers with more than 100 employees are required to give 60 days' notice of possible layoffs under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining (WARN) Act when third of the workforce or more than 500 people could be affected.
