Kroger debuts 123,000-square-foot store in Locust Grove

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. Tammie Young-Ennaemba, head of communications and public affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division, explained why Locust Grove was a destination for the national grocery chain. “It's always a great opportunity to bring a grocery store into communities that are growing and vibrant as it relates to customers and just the economy in general,” Young-Ennaemba said. The store is the first Atlanta Division marketplace to have a 20-pump fuel center with a convenience store. 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. A Starbucks coffee shop is featured inside the building along with a Murray’s Cheese Shop. The store also features a full-service pharmacy with drive-thru access, a wine selection and a sushi station. Customers also can shop online and pick up their groceries curbside. Beyond its investment in the local economy, Kroger also emphasized its commitment to addressing food insecurity in the community. Kroger has a Zero Hunger |

'We were all farmers' —Thomas Ewing, 96, remembers Snellville’s rural roots

Of the rolling fields and orchards of Thomas Ewing’s boyhood, memories remain. “I can go down the road and name you the farmers, from the church on down the road, and right up the road, the ones that was farming during that time,” Ewing says. “We were all farmers.” It was 1930.

They were driven back by the worsening depression, and remained on the family farm another two and a half decades. Ewing himself would not stay even that long. He enlisted, and at 20 he left Gwinnett. Never again would he pick cotton, or plow a field. By the time he returned home to Snellville, 46 years later, everything had changed. A country crossroad had grown to a metro suburb. Ewing had traveled the world, and become director of his division. But for the son of a farmer raised in his father’s
