CINCINNATI, OH - After meeting a successful opening of its first full-service dining experience, Kitchen 1883, Kroger is welcoming a second restaurant to its retail roundup, bringing a fresh take on American comfort food to a new audience. The first restaurant opened in Kentucky last November, while this new location, a stand-alone restaurant with a patio in the Greater Cincinnati neighborhood-based Anderson Township, will open this fall.

"With Kitchen 1883, our vision is to create a gathering place that offers a casual atmosphere for guests to relax and experience food," said Vice President of Culinary Development and New Business Daniel Hammer. "Since opening our pilot restaurant five months ago, we've discovered new ideas that will help to shape our future dining concepts and in-store fresh food experiences."

The restaurant is host to made-from-scratch menu items with American flair that invites international flavors into the mix. In addition, customers can enjoy hand-crafted cocktails and a community-centered atmosphere at the locations. Those looking for lunch and dinner can look to Kitchen 1883 for their weekday needs, with brunch made available on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Kitchen 1883 is just one way Kroger is redefining the customer experience through innovative concepts, as we outlined in Restock Kroger," continued Mr. Hammer. "Kroger's Culinary Innovation team will continue innovating and experimenting with food trends, flavors, and ingredients to create new experiences and products for our customers and new menu items for our restaurant guests."
