East Cobb Biz Scene: Kroger unveils 2 new store renovations

While the expansion continues at its Parkaire Landing store, Kroger is putting the finishing touches on renovations at two other stores in East Cobb.

Last week the newly renovated store at the Sandy Plains Centre (2960 Shallowford Road) reopened to the public.

The $1.95 million renovation includes a new Murray’s Cheese shop and sushi island, updated dairy, bakery and produce departments, and additional interior and exterior infrastructure improvements.

The event drew local public officials and included recognitions of Mountain View Elementary School, McCleskey Middle School and Lassiter High School, Kroger’s Partners in Education, as well as Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste partner, the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

On July 24, a similar event will take place at the Kroger at Shallowford Falls Shopping Center (3162 Johnson Ferry Road), which is undergoing a $1.1 million renovation project.

That store will be getting a new floral department, a new Murray’s Cheese shop and updated dairy, bakery, produce meat and seafood departments.

Kroger’s Partners in Education at that store are Shallowford Falls Elementary School, Hightower Trail Middle School and Pope High School.

Those Kroger stores remained open during their renovations, as is the Parkaire Landing location, which began in the spring.

That’s a $23 million project that will vastly expand Kroger’s space there from 59,000 square feet to 85,000 square feet—almost as large as the Kroger Superstore at Terrell Mill MarketPlace on Powers Ferry Road.

The project also includes the construction of a Kroger fuel center, an expanded produce department and an enlarged deli counter, a full-service Murray’s cheese counter and the addition of a sushi culinary kiosk.
