Riverside Mayor Pete Williams said Thursday that Kroger’s investment addresses a key concern for the city.
“It’s not hard to determine what happens to dated retail sites that sit vacant in Ohio for more than a few winters,” he said.

“So it certainly was something that was a point of concern for us as a city on how long this large site on a major thoroughfare was going to sit,” Williams added. “But we’re very happy that there was interest and that we’re going to have a great corporate partner like Kroger be the one that makes it their home. And they get a real centerpiece for our city.”
When the new store on Woodman opens, Kroger stores on Spinning Road in Riverside and Smithville Road in Dayton will close, company officials have said.
