Ralphs grocery store located on Orchard Village Road and Lyons Avenue is set to close on Nov. 8, a store official confirmed.
Signs announcing the closing date and redirecting customers to nearby Ralphs locations are currently posted outside the store.
The store location has reportedly been losing money on a monthly basis, and the rising cost of healthcare, workers compensation and liability insurance has contributed to the store’s inability to sustain itself, according to one of the store managers.

It is sad to hear that Ralphs is closing. It is always a clean place and the employees are agreeable all the time.. Well, it is what it is…..life brings so many changes, as we all know is part of history, we like it or not. The truth of the matters is that the fruits and vegebles are cheaper than Ralphs. Even though, I would love to support the American stores, why I should pay more money when I could pay less???
