Why 15 Missouri Grocery Stores Will Close on the Same Day Soon
I've had the misfortune of needing something at the grocery store and showing up at their front door only to find they are closed. That's why I felt it necessary to pass along the word that soon 15 Missouri grocery stores will all be closed on the same day because it might catch many by surprise.
There are a lot of reasons for a grocery store to close. The one in my small Missouri town had to close not long ago when their internet was out which meant none of their registers would process payments. Stuff happens, but it's not a fun surprise when it's a weekend and you don't feel like a drive to the big city.
I bring this up because The Sun just shared news that there are two big grocery chains that will soon be closing on the same day. They are reporting that all Costco stores and Natural Grocers will be closing on Monday, May 26 for Memorial Day.
How many Costco stores and Natural Grocers are there in Missouri?
Costco says it has 9 warehouses in Missouri while Natural Grocers lists 6 Missouri locations. Even with my admittedly low level math skills, that's 15 Missouri grocery stores that won't be open on Monday, May 26, 2025.
I like the idea of retail closing so families can be together on Memorial Day. A day of remembrance should include being closed for business if that's possible so we can remember those who paid the price for us to remain free.
