LONG BEACH (CBSLA) — Two grocery stores in Long Beach will officially close Saturday in response to a controversial city law which requires companies to pay grocery workers an extra $4 per hour during the coronavirus pandemic.

(CBSLA) “I’m very sad about it,” Ricardo Galvan, a Downey resident, said. “I love coming here, especially after work. It was great coming here to get something to eat. We’re definitely going to miss it.” Kroger announced back in February that it was closing the two stores — a Food 4 Less at 2185 E. South St. on and a Ralph’s on at 3380 N. Los Coyotes Diagonal — directly in response to the passage of the new law. “That’s disappointing,” Ashley Carlton, a Long Beach resident, said. “I think these guys, they toughed out the pandemic and they deserve hero pay.” In December, the Long … [Read more...] about 2 Long Beach Grocery Stores Shutting Down Saturday Over Hero Pay Law
