LOCUST GROVE — Kroger officially opened its $39 million Locust Grove Marketplace on Friday, bringing a 123,000-square-foot grocery store, a 20-pump fuel center and 300 jobs to the Henry County community.

The store also features a mural created by the University of Georgia's "Color the World Bright" team. Departments include fresh produce, bakery, deli, meat, household, toy and apparel departments.
