The Kroger Co., Cincinnati, shut down its Dillons Central Bakery in Hutchinson, Kan., on June 1, ending a more than 40-year operation and affecting 28 employees.
The company will continue to operate bakery counters in its Dillons stores, but it will ship the products offered from a larger bakery Kroger operates in Colorado, said Sheila Lowrie, Dillon Stores communications coordinator.
