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.
