Bigg’s to cut 436 jobs

Cincinnati Bigg's grocery stores plan to cut 436 jobs in southwest Ohio, and 111 in northern Kentucky, as part of planned closures and sell-offs in the region.

The news comes after Erlanger, Ky.-based regional chain Remke Markets announced this week it would acquire six Bigg's stores in Cincinnati and its suburbs. Bigg's, owned by Supervalu, will close five others and eliminate 79 jobs from its offices in the Cincinnati suburb of Milford.
