Kroger‘s Atlanta Division held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration Oct. 9 to unveil renovations at the Howell Mill Square Kroger at 1715 Howell Mill Road N.W. in Atlanta, a $1.6 million capital investment.
The renovation includes new “Fresh for Everyone” decor, a new floral department and Murray’s Cheese shop, updated dairy, produce, meat and seafood departments, a new pharmacy consultation room and additional interior infrastructure improvements.
Since 2020, Kroger’s Atlanta Division has added 13 new stores, built 19 fuel centers and remodeled 74 stores, investing nearly $600 million in its communities.
“Our purpose is to Feed the Human Spirit, and every day, we bring that purpose to life by creating a place our customers love to shop,” said Tammie Young-Ennaemba, head of communications and public affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “In keeping with Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste commitment, our contractors and partners diverted 97 percent of construction waste from landfills during the renovation project.”
As part of the celebration, Kroger recognized its Partners in Education, E. Rivers Elementary School, Campbell Middle School and North Atlanta High School, along with its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste partner, the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Kroger’s Atlanta Division includes Georgia, eastern Alabama and South Carolina, with 27,000 associates.
