\"Fresh<\/a>The West Coast grocery chain announced it will close all of existing locations.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Fresh & Easy revealed 50 stores would be closing, while the remaining would be redesigned but it seems like they have abandoned the idea.<\/p>\n

All of the 97 remaining stores and 3,000 employees in California, Arizona, and Nevada will be affected. More than half of which are in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, Fresh & Easy will begin an organized dissolution of operations. State-mandated WARN act notification are said to have been delivered to employees with layoffs beginning at corporate offices later this week.<\/p>\n

The struggling chain made its appearance onto the highly competitive Southland grocery market back in 2007.<\/p>\n

Fresh & Easy doesn’t have funding to remain open; although, the past two years efforts have brought the grocery store chain closer to break even.<\/p>\n

Fresh & Easy was British multinational grocery and produce conglomerate, Tesco’s, first endeavor into the states.<\/p>\n

Tesco attempted to pass it off as the European rendition of Trader Joe’s, offering fresh produce and ready-made meals.<\/p>\n

Fresh & Easy has a rocky beginning and has since remained unprofitable.\u00a0Not only was the lack of differentiation a problem for the grocery chain but the tide of competition flooding the market. Massive retailers like Target and Wal-Mart began expanding their produce offering. Trader Joe’s continued development for new stores. Although, brick-and-mortar locations weren’t the chains only threat. Google, Amazon, and Instacart started testing produce and grocery delivery\/pickup operations.<\/p>\n

Haggen is another chain facing similar struggles. The grocery chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month and announced some of its locations were being sold to Gelson’s and Smart & Final if approved by the bankruptcy court.<\/p>\n

Back in 2013, Fresh & Easy filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and was seized by billionaire Ron Burkle. Tesco remained a minority stakeholder.<\/p>\n

Fresh & Easy still hopes a new owner will come to rescue them but the name no longer has the equity it once did.<\/p>\n
