The largest Kroger store in the state of Kentucky is scheduled to open in Versailles on July 16.
The 133,000-square-foot MarketPlace Kroger store, which will be located at 212 Kroger Way, will offer expanded varieties of apparel, housewares and bed and bath products, in addition to food and other grocery products, according to Kroger officials.
The newly built store will offer expanded departments for all fresh foods, including meat, produce, seafood, deli products, sushi, bakery items, organics, and natural foods. Specialty cheeses will be available from Murray’s Cheese Shop within the store. The deli area will also offer a variety of prepared food options, including made-to-order pizza, barbecue, wraps, and an Asian entree bar, with a 60-seat cafe area.
The new Kroger will also feature a Little Clinic, a Wine and Spirits Shoppe with its own drive-thru, and a pharmacy with two drive-thru lanes.
The store will create 175 new jobs, in addition to employing the 200 associates currently working at the existing Versailles store, according to Kroger officials.
