INDEPENDENCE, KY - Kroger continues to accelerate its geographical growth blueprint, bolstering its delivery network with the addition of several state-of-the-art facilities. The latest addition to the grocer's footprint is in Independence, Kentucky, where the company has opened its latest spoke facility.

"We are thrilled to expand our offerings to Northern Kentucky and connect more customers to the Kroger Delivery shopping experience, which brings thousands of digital coupons, valuable fuel points, and the freshest products including Our Brands, directly to customers' doors," said Rebekah Manis, Senior Director, Kroger Delivery Fulfillment Centers. "Our customers are actively looking for ways to save, and Kroger Delivery offers a fresh, affordable, and personalized shopping experience with zero compromise on affordability, selection, and convenience. Whether they are using the Kroger app or browsing our weekly ad at Kroger.com, customers can enjoy fresh, high-quality, affordable groceries delivered by best-in-class uniformed drivers."

The newest facility will work in conjunction with the grocer's Monroe, Ohio, fulfillment center. As a press release explained, all orders are picked at the products' peak freshness within the Monroe facility before associates carefully assemble orders and place them in climate-controlled vehicles to travel to Independence. From there, they are checked and placed on refrigerated delivery trucks that deliver directly to customers' doors, ensuring cold and frozen products remain at the perfect temperature from the supplier to the customer's refrigerator.

The newly introduced Northern Kentucky location marks Kroger's second Kentucky spoke location. The company's Louisville, Kentucky, spoke was opened back in May 2022.
