North Texas residents will have greater access to grocery needs now that a new Kroger Marketplace store has opened in Melissa, Texas. This is the first new store for Kroger in the North Texas region since 2019.
“We are excited to open the new store in the City of Melissa, one of the fastest growing cities in North Texas,” said Keith Shoemaker, President of Kroger’s Dallas Division. “We recognize Kroger’s unique role in the communities we serve. As an employer, grocery retailer, healthcare provider, and more, we have a responsibility to create positive change and deliver on Our Purpose to Feed the Human Spirit.”
The result of a $36 million community investment, the new store provides access to more than 35,000 fresh, affordable products and creates more than 300 jobs for the local community, a press release explained. The new location, standing at 123,000 square feet, is the first of its kind in the city.
The store also touts a variety of enticing features, including full-service grocery, meat and seafood departments, produce, and floral.
In honor of the location’s grand opening, Kroger donated to local hunger relief organizations, including North Texas Feed the Need, Feed My Sheep, and Grace Place Food Pantry, as part of the company’s Zero Hunger Zero Waste social and environmental impact plan.
