Food 4 Less — a discount market owned by Kroger – is closing March 15, according to employees at the Santa Ana store, which is located at 17th and Grand Ave., according to the O.C. Register.
I visited that store tonight, and several employees verified that they will be closing on March 15. I asked them if they will be having a clearance sale. Apparently they will blow out the meat, but everything else will be transferred to other stores.
Food 4 Less is owned by Kroger, which also owns Ralphs. They closed a Ralphs that used to be on 17th and Bristol, awhile ago. Now they will also be closing a Ralphs in Anaheim, at 2809 E. Lincoln, on March 10.
I don’t know the reasons for these closures, but I do know that the Food 4 Less on Grand and 17th faces a lot of competition from Big Saver, Northgate, and Superior. My wife hates shopping at Food 4 Less as it is hard to find what you are looking for.
What will go into that center in place of Food 4 Less?
A Wal Mart Super Center would be awesome, as residents could save up to 20% on store merchandise and groceries, but the Santa Ana City Council effectively banned big box superstores in 2007. “Under the new regulations, big-box retailers must apply for a conditional-use permit and identify the benefits and costs to existing stores within a three-mile area,” according to the L.A. Times.
Too bad. A Wal Mart Super Center would bring a lot of jobs to Santa Ana. Click here to contact the Santa Ana City Council. Now is the time to ask them to reconsider this silly ban.
The ban exists to protect union supermarket jobs, but those are disappearing quickly. Besides, we should not be encouraging folks to make careers out of bagging groceries. These jobs should be for young people and the semi-retired.

Ya right I heard its going to be a medical marijuana super depot....it's the only growing and money making business in Santa Ana ..
This place might be converted into a Mexican supermarket like a northgate or a el super
That would be terrific!
What I want to see in this lot is the food4less store back because it was the onliest store in o.c the five things about this place is 1# the prices are really cheap than other F4L stores #2 the store is big has everything exempt a butcher it even has a check cashing place when you enter the store . #3 lines are ridiculously long during the weekends.#4 the employees are nice and helpful #5 the parking lot is huge you don't even have to wait til the the car leaves and kill time
Their lines were very long indeed...
When The food4less on grand and seventeenth closed down some other store began to close
Like the electronic warehouse store closed down march- 15 -2011 the date when food4less closed its doors the second #store that closed down was mrs a Plus size it closed down in April or may of 2012 when those stores closed down dollar tree was the only one standing
I'm probably thinking that they are going to demolish it
I am guessing that Walmart companies are closing down giant food4less warehouses and two other stores for a Walmart also Santa Ana council banned a Walmart from popping up in this location what I really really want back is the food4less store because it was the only store near o.c so please santa Ana council reopen food4less
This place is still vacant it's 2013 already closed down like in 2011 maybe it's abandoned
