Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, a California-based grocer with stores across the Philadelphia region, is closing 36 underperforming stores nationwide, including two in Philly, one in Kennett Square, and five across South Jersey.

The locations closing in Philadelphia include the store on Oregon Avenue in South Philly and on Welsh Road in the Northeast.

In South Jersey, the stores slated for closing are in Sicklerville, Mays Landing, Delran, Gibbstown, and Rio Grande.

In the company's latest financial report, it cited the closures as a cost-cutting effort after expanding too quickly. It also said changes to SNAP benefits have impacted Grocery Outlet's core customer base.

The closures will take place over the current fiscal year. Stores in California, Ohio, Idaho and Maryland are also closing.
