Kroger has opened a new 120,000‑square‑foot Marketplace in Noblesville, representing a nearly $40 million investment and creating more than 300 jobs.
The store, which held its ribbon‑cutting June 12, features a Murray’s Cheese shop, Starbucks, a store‑made popcorn café, an apparel department and wider aisles. Unlike many Kroger locations, this store is brand new – not replacing an older building – reflecting the grocer’s recognition of growth in Hamilton County.
“This store shows our attention to the evolving needs of our growing communities and local customers,” said Mike Goodwin, president of Kroger Central Division.
“We work hard every day to offer the best stores and best possible shopping experience. Two essential principals will drive everything we do here – and at every Kroger store. We will provide the quality you trust and the value you love.”
Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said, “We are excited to welcome Kroger Marketplace to Noblesville’s east side. This new location expands access to quality groceries and provides additional shopping options for our growing community. Beyond its investment in our local economy and workforce, Kroger has demonstrated a strong commitment to giving back through initiatives that support our residents, including efforts to help address food insecurity.”
Kroger’s charitable contributions on opening day exceeded $100,000. The grocer presented $75,000 to the Eskenazi Health Fresh for You Market, along with donations to Noblesville’s Boys & Girls Club and Prevail, which serves victims of abuse and crime. Kroger also gave gift cards to Teacher’s Treasures in Indianapolis and made a $10,000 food donation to Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank, loaded by members of the Noblesville High School football team.
“We are incredibly grateful to Kroger for their generous donation of $10,000 worth of food to Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank,” said Suzanna Hobson, executive director of Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank.
“This incredible support directly strengthens our mission to fight hunger within Hamilton County by providing healthy, nutritious food to our neighbors that are food insecure.”
Construction projects are underway in Zionsville and Crawfordsville, with many current stores slated for remodeling. Goodwin said, “I love the opportunity to extend the Kroger brand, offer more jobs and make lives better wherever we go.” Overall, 2026 is a $200 million year for Kroger construction in the region.
Since launching its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan in 2017, Kroger has given more than $1 billion to hunger relief services nationwide and has helped deliver about 4 billion meals to families in need.
