Giant Food, a mid-Atlantic grocery chain, could close stores due to theft, President Ira Kress said.
He told WTOP that Giant is also limiting the number of items that customers can buy at self-checkout.
This time, it's Giant Food, which operates about 170 stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
Giant President Ira Kress told Washington DC radio station WTOP on Monday that thieves are stealing "everything," from shrimp to deodorant, at Giant's stores.
Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said that the retailer could close stores or raise prices if theft continued.
