The Kroger Co. recently broke ground on the construction of its largest-format store, a $38 million Kroger Marketplace and fuel center, in Crawfordsville, Ind., in Montgomery County.

The Crawfordsville investment arrives at the beginning of a $200 million year for Kroger Central division, which is building new stores and expanding or remodeling others, reports Progressive Grocer. The $38 million Crawfordsville investment is for a massive 123,000-square-foot site south of the area’s current Kroger store.

“This is a time of growth for Kroger and this community,” said Colleen Juergensen, president of Kroger Central division. “Our company is accelerating its pace of construction around the country. Building a big new store here will add to the quality of life that makes Crawfordsville a special place.”

“The new store Kroger is constructing will greatly expand offerings for our residents, and we are truly grateful that Kroger has chosen to make such a significant investment in Crawfordsville," said Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton.

Kroger Central division operates food stores, pharmacies and fuel centers in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. Cincinnati-based Kroger employs nearly 420,000 associates who serve more than 11 million customers daily.
