The central Ohio food scene is getting a boost with the arrival of Murray’s Cheese Shop in three Kroger stores.
Murray’s — a well-respected cheese store in Greenwich Village of New York, with another location at Grand Central Terminal there — will be set up on Aug. 12 in the Kroger Marketplace at 7625 Sawmill Rd., Dublin.To follow: openings in the stores at 7100 Hospital Dr. in Dublin on Sept. 2 and 150 W. Sycamore St. in the Brewery District on Sept. 23.
Consumers will have access to 175 specialty cheeses, plus a staff trained by Murray’s.
“One of the biggest changes will be our associates,” said Jackie Siekmann, a spokeswoman for Kroger.“We sent them to New York for training. They have to earn a red jacket before they’re allowed to sell cheese. They can help customers pick a good melting cheese; they can help them pair it with a wine or a beer.”
