The grocery is expanding its locations at a time when many businesses have had to shutter stores, declare bankruptcy, or outright close down their operations.
Store closures jumped 69 percent in 2024 over 2023, with more than 7,100 store closures announced by the end of November 2024, according to CBS News.
The surge in closures has been largely in spite of strong consumer spending. Even with inflation driving prices up, Americans were still shopping,
Neil Saunders, a GlobalData analyst who spoke to CBS MoneyWatch, said that competition in the retail market is choking out some companies.
"There is not enough growth in the retail market for every player to do well, which is why we are seeing polarized results," he said. "However, many of the chains closing stores are those that have problems which go beyond the economy. Their propositions might not be right, their offers might not be what consumers want, and they might not have responded to competitive threats in the right way."
