“Kroger has a long tradition of operating in this area, as does Harris Teeter,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter, in a release. “Our valued associates have proudly served these Raleigh-Durham communities for decades, so these store locations are especially attractive to us. We plan to invest in remodeling a number of these locations to better serve our shoppers in this growing and vibrant market.”
Though the stores will be closed for the remodel, five pharmacies will remain open throughout the process, according to the company.
Kroger has 44 supermarkets, 12 locations with ClickList services and another 10 locations with Starbucks services in the region. The popular grocer already employs more than 8,100 associates in the Dayton region.
