Kroger is investing $20million in some of its Columbus-area stores as it works to meet customer demands, the company said yesterday.
The Cincinnati-based grocery chain plans to renovate as many as eight stores in and around Columbus this year and next, with the first of the planned renovations under way at its 1350 N. High St. store near the Ohio State University campus, spokeswoman Amy McCormick said. That store is being completely rebuilt.
Kroger hasn't identified all of the stores it will renovate but has said it will target stores both within and outside Columbus, McCormick said.
The company's new campus-area store will sit closer to High Street than its old store and will expand to 56,400 square feet from its current 35,000 square feet, she said.
