Grocery Outlet to Close 36 Stores After $218 Million Q4 Loss

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, the Emeryville-based discount grocer, will permanently close 36 underperforming stores nationwide after a $218 million Q4 2025 loss; 24 of the closures are on the East Coast, and it’s unclear whether any Bay Area locations will be affected. The company is reshaping its growth plan and reallocating resources while its stock fell about 24% after hours; it attributed the Q4 loss in part to cuts in SNAP benefits under the Trump administration.
