Kroger has started construction on its first Marketplace store in Plano, Texas, which will replace a smaller Kroger store nearby, reports local news outlet The Dallas Morning News.
Kroger’s first Marketplace store is the largest format at 124,000 square — 55,000 square feet bigger than the existing store. The store location is expected to be open in late 2024 and will create 100 to 150 new jobs, in addition to carrying 116 employees from the existing store, which will remain open until the new store is ready.
The store is being built on a 50-acre site which is big enough to add a fuel center with 18 pumps and a kiosk for snacks and drinks, Kroger told The Dallas Morning News.
