The year-long Kroger renovations at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center are just getting started, and motorists will notice part of the parking lot has already been closed off.
It’s a section of the lot behind the Providence Dental Center outparcel on Johnson Ferry Road (formerly Engineered Smiles), and access is limited around that fenced-off area.
As we reported earlier this month, Kroger is investing $23 million to expand at Parkaire, and this has been the only East Cobb Kroger that doesn’t have a fuel station.
The store will grow from 59,000 square feet to 85,000 square feet—almost as large as the Kroger Superstore at Terrell Mill MarketPlace—and it will remain open during the renovations.
The key features of the expansion include an expanded produce department and an enlarged deli counter, a full-service Murray’s cheese counter and the addition of a sushi culinary kiosk.
Workers have torn down a section of parcels next to Kroger that will be added to the grocery store’s footprint. Those spaces included the former Tuesday Morning consignment shop.
The expansion will continue to CycleBar, a fitness center, which announced it was closing in early February. But in a social media message earlier this week, management said it was reopening, and it was offering free rides as part of its grand reopening March 27-29.
East Cobb News has left a message with CycleBar seeking more information.
