Customers lament closing of Wedgewood, Capitol Hill QFC stores Deborah Horne
Two QFC stores will close for good in Seattle Saturday. The parent company, Kroger, says it was pushed to close the underperforming stores when the City Council imposed $4 an hour more for front-line grocery workers.
So many people say they will miss these stores. Their small size made them an intimate setting that neighbors say they cherished.
This could be mistaken for just another store in a national grocery chain. But to those who shop here, this QFC is special.
“I feel sad about it,” said Wendy Lendrum. “Yeah, I live right around the corner.”
“The fact this hasn’t changed is shameful and an indictment on our legislative system and our legislators from both sides of politics over many years,” says Samantha Maddern, a partner at law firm Mills Oakley.
