HOUSTON -- Randalls/Tom Thumb said Tuesday it's closing 26 Texas stores as part of a cost-cutting and market repositioning move.

The Houston-based unit of the Safeway supermarket chain says its closing 16 Randalls stores in the Houston area, nine in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and one in the Austin market by the end of the year. That'll leave 62 stores in the Dallas area, 36 in the Houston market and 14 in and around Austin.

Randalls/Tom Thumb says many of its affected employees will be eligible for severance benefits and outplacement services.
