LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Shoppers in the Las Vegas Valley are flocking to the Albertsons Supermarket near Flamingo Road and Maryland Avenue in search of last-minute deals after the grocery store chain announced plans to close that specific location. The company said it was closing the location to improve “operational efficiencies.”
The store held a closing sale, offering 50% off most items and exempting some items. The parking lot was packed when 8 News Now arrived on Friday.

“There were no carts available, so we were literally waiting for someone to leave a cart so we could grab it and get in,” Jade Tulloch said.
Tulloch said her family lives on the other side of town but came after hearing the news.
“We know the current situation and situation in Iran, so all the prices are skyrocketing,” Tulloch said. “It’s not easy right now for people who have actually been through this. So that’s why we’re here.”

“Sad reality. This is going to affect a lot of people,” Naomi Saarinas said after learning the store would be closing. Salinas has been grocery shopping since 2016. She said it was a matter of convenience for her and her husband.
“It’s very convenient to the bus station and very close to the Hawaiian BBQ,” she gave as an example.
The store will remain open until its scheduled closing date of April 15.
A spokesperson for Albertsons told 8 News Now, “This decision was difficult and involved a lengthy evaluation.”

Albertsons and Vons operate 41 stores throughout southern Nevada.
The two other Albertsons stores closest to the closure are at 1001 South Maryland Pkwy (about 1 mile) and Vons 1155 East Twain Avenue (north of Flamingo).
8 News Now contacted leasing group Windmill Capital, whose name is plastered on empty storefronts in the shopping centre. We requested comment on what might happen next in this area and are still awaiting a response.
