The Kroger Co. has announced plans to open three new Kroger Marketplace format stores in North Texas in the communities of Fort Worth, Melissa and Plano.
These locations will be the first new-build Kroger stores in North Texas since the company opened its location at 1801 North Lake Forest Drive in McKinney in 2019. Kroger has been serving North Texas communities for 65 years.
“We are excited to bring these stores to areas with booming growth and a need for access to fresh food and essential items,” said Keith Shoemaker, president, Kroger’s Dallas division. “All three stores will provide what the community has come to expect from Kroger – full shelves, where everything is fresh and our people are friendly.”
While all three Marketplace stores are expected to open in 2024, additional details will be shared at groundbreaking events later this summer. Kroger operates more than 100 stores in North and East Texas and more than 200 stores total throughout Texas.
Kroger Marketplace format stores are multi-department stores, offering full-service grocery, pharmacy and expanded general merchandise, including outdoor living products, electronics, home goods, apparel and toys. Marketplace stores range in size from 100,000-130,000 square feet.
In 2022, Kroger opened a fulfillment center in South Dallas to focus solely on the growing demand for grocery delivery service. With spoke facilities since constructed in Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City, the company has added the capability to serve a digital audience and more remote communities without the need for brick-and-mortar stores.
With Boost by Kroger, digital shoppers have options, such as next-day delivery and same-day delivery in under two hours. Plus, Boost members save up to $1,000 a year on gas, groceries, and delivery fees.
