BOISE, Idaho — A statement from an Albertsons spokesperson said the company is laying off a portion of its corporate and division support workforce. The total number of employees impacted is not being disclosed. No store-level jobs are affected, the statement said.

Albertsons will be laying off a portion of its corporate workforce after a merger between the Boise-based grocery chain and Kroger fell through following legal challenges.

The grocer didn’t offer specifics, though a WARN notice in Arizona noted that the company is firing 225 corporate office employees in Phoenix.

Albertsons’ renewed focus on customer-centric strategies positions the company to navigate an evolving consumer landscape, Sankaran added, signaling a fresh chapter for the grocery giant, even as the fallout from the failed merger continues to unfold in the courts.

In the aftermath of its failed merger with The Kroger Co., Albertsons Cos. will make reductions in its corporate and divisional support staff, according to a report from Idaho News 6. Albertsons confirmed the move to the news outlet, with a spokesperson saying the layoffs will help the company “compete in a rapidly changing market."
