(Reuters) - Workers at nearly 80 King Soopers, owned by Kroger Co, approved a new three-year contract, the Colorado-based chain said on Tuesday, ending a stalemate that had caused a 10-day strike at the start of the year.

King Soopers will invest $170 million in wage increases through the life of the agreement, with additional health-care investments.

The union had planned to strike from Jan. 12 until early February for better wages and working conditions but called it off on Jan. 21 after reaching a tentative deal.

The lines were clear to the back and around. I walked around and looked. Finally I saw a register open up. Three in front of me.

Rain now, snow and ice later.
