Kroger‘s Atlanta Division has begun construction on a $45.7 million Marketplace in Statesboro, Georgia, home of Georgia Southern University.
The 99,000-square-foot store is slated to open in fall 2027 at the northeast corner of Veterans Memorial Parkway and Cypress Lake Road.
“We are thrilled to begin construction on this beautiful new Kroger Marketplace and bring a fresh, convenient shopping experience to Statesboro,” said Monica Garnes, president of Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “We are also excited to serve the faculty, staff and students of Georgia Southern University as we become an active partner in the broader Statesboro community.”
What’s in the store
Alongside floral, bakery, deli, meat and fresh produce, the Marketplace will include:
- Murray’s Cheese
- Freshly prepared sushi
- Household, baby, toy and pet departments
- Enhanced health and beauty department
- Full-service pharmacy with drive-thru
- Adjacent fuel center
- Grocery pickup services
The store will anchor a 21-acre shopping center with four outparcels and 10,850 square feet of additional retail space. Chris Senn and Daniel Holloway of Southeastern Development are co-developing the center and will handle leasing and marketing for the remaining space.
Garnes said the division will work with local partners on hunger-relief programs through Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste plan. “Kroger’s commitment to Statesboro will extend well beyond the walls of our store,” she said.
