The 125,000-square-foot store is being built on Feedwire Road between Costco and Cabela’s. Kroger invested about $21.2 million into the new store, and it will employ about 300 workers. When the Centerville Kroger opens, the grocery retailer will close its location at 2100 E. Whipp Road in Kettering.

The popular grocer already employs more than 8,100 associates in the Dayton region. Nationwide, the company grew its workforce by more than 12,000 associates last year, and announced earlier this year that it would look to hire an estimated 10,000 permanent positions in its supermarket divisions.
