Kroger

[wiseguy93]

This building originally opened in the early 1980's as a Kroger greenhouse, then was taken over by Big Bear after Kroger closed this store, which I'm guessing mid-1980's, when Kroger pulled out of Northeast OH. This Big Bear closed with the rest of the chain after Penn Traffic pulled out of OH. The store remains vacant today.

This store became a Giant Eagle after Kroger closed. Marc's (a discount drugstore) took the building over after Giant Eagle moved to a new building next door.

Kroger's move from its location of 29 years on East Ky. 80 to a larger, newer building on U.S. 27 was made official Wednesday with a grand opening ceremony.

Shoppers searching for deals crowded around the store's doors before it opened at 8 a.m., and business remained steady throughout the day.

"We're just pleased to have this facility for the customers," said store manager Bill Feck. "They deserve it."

The 48,000 square-foot store, located where Winn-Dixie used to be, boasts expanded meat, produce, deli, health food and frozen departments and it offers a salad bar, olive bar and a hot soup bar. The new building also houses a drive-thru pharmacy.

Feck, who has been with Kroger for 30 years, said the larger building will help Kroger bring more choices to its customers, which he said wasn't possible at the smaller store.

"We can stock items we didn't sell at the old store," he said. "We can carry different products to find out what (the customers) want."

Feck also said many customers had been impressed with the new building, which is almost 20,000 square feet larger than the old store on Ky. 80.

"Everybody's telling me how beautiful it is," Feck said.

Feck also said the move from the old location to the new one went smoothly because of the store's employees.

"I'm just proud of my people," he said.

The new store hours are 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays.

This is a old Kroger's Superstore of the 1970's, that has been remolded, but is soon to be demolish and rebuilt on site. This store south of the Ohio State University campus at North High Street and Seventh Avenue. It plans to expand the store's size and offerings. The building will expand from 36,000 square feet to more than 56,000 square feet.

Hupman said the additional space means added amenities. While Kroger has not committed to specific changes, a flower department, coffee shop, expanded deli, salad bar and eating area are among the possibilities.

The store entrance will face north, which opens the site up to both the university area to the north and the Weinland Park neighborhood to the east.

This was an old style 1960's Kroger's remolded in the 1970's to a Superstore, and later remolded to what it is now.

This Kroger's and shopping center is located on site where the Old Bristol Memorial Hospital once stood. Right across the state line on I think Tennessee. It really hard to keep up with this city, it's located both in Virginia and Tennessee. Bristol is also home to Bristol Raceway Nascar's track.

A really nice looking Kroger's

By looking at this not so typical Kroger's Sign I can't help to think this might have at one time been something else. But I really like the look.
