The largest Kroger in Georgia opened Wednesday in north Athens, located at the intersection of Highways 29 and 72, and becomes the supermarket company’s fourth store in the Athens area.
The store is 123,000-square-feet in size, employs 450 associates, and is expected to attract customers from Clarke, Madison and Elbert counties.
While the Trail Creek Village Kroger Marketplace is the biggest around, Kroger Southeast Region President Bruce Lucia said the store will be dwarfed by others greater than 140,000 square feet by 2016.
