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 |
