Two Safeway stores in Colorado Springs will close before year’s end, part of a larger move that affects 10 locations statewide. The announcement raises questions about the future of grocery options for local residents and the broader Colorado community.

Joann Fabrics has announced that all remaining store locations will be closed by the end of the month, marking the end of the well-known fabric and craft retailer’s physical presence. Customers have a limited time to visit stores before the closures take effect.
