News of the pending Vons closure was first confirmed by city leaders.
“I am very concerned for our community at the loss of a large retailer,” Mayor Jenelle Osborne said, noting the loss of living-wage jobs for store workers.
The closure also will affect residents of nearby neighborhoods, where many people without vehicles walk to the store for groceries, she added.
But the closure will leave another large retail space vacant in the city, where the former home of Mervyn s and Fallas remains empty on H Street.
