The store remained open in the past year while it underwent a $13 million investment, which included a 13,000-square-foot expansion with a new bakery, deli, meat and seafood section and general grocery space, plus an expanded parking lot, a new PickUp department and a new pharmacy.
Kroger’s expansion went into the former space of an adjacent CVS pharmacy store that closed in 2022. The project included the demolition of a former Friendly’s restaurant at the corner of Stroop and Shroyer roads, and the demolition of a former bank branch, both to increase parking lot space.
Kroger officials also said the Stroop Road store will host longtime Cincinnati Reds radio broadcaster Marty Brennaman from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 22.
