The Kroger Co. is eyeing a $225 million industrial project in metro Atlanta.
Cincinnati, Ohio-based Kroger (NYSE: KR), the nation’s largest supermarket chain, would need between 1 million and 1.5 million-square-feet for the development, including a distribution center, freezer component and truck maintenance facility.
Kroger has considered the campus-like project for months, and it's scouted several properties on which it might develop, according to industrial real estate sources familiar with the plans.
A 300-acre site at Fulton County Airport – Brown Field, just west of Atlanta, has emerged as a contender to land Kroger, those sources said.
