Kroger is pulling back on its store count. The supermarket chain, which runs more than 2,700 locations in 35 states, said in June it will shut down 60 stores across the country over the next year and a half.

The decision was first mentioned on June 20 by interim CEO Ron Sargent, who told investors that the stores losing money are scattered nationwide. Kroger hasn’t put out a full list, but union groups and local outlets have tracked closures in several states.

The closures include regular Kroger locations along with other chains the company owns, such as Mariano’s, Jay C, Harris Teeter, and Pick ’n Save.
