Dayton Business: 2 new Kroger stores closer to opening

Two new Kroger stores in Fairborn and Centerville are scheduled to open this summer.

The Kroger at the Cornerstone of Centerville development is poised to open in early June. A spokeswoman for the Cincinnati-based grocery retailer told this news organization that an exact opening date has not been identified yet.

The 125,000-square-foot store is being built on Feedwire Road between Costco and Cabela’s. Kroger invested about $21.2 million into the new store, and it will employ about 300 workers. When the Centerville Kroger opens, the grocery retailer will close its location at 2100 E. Whipp Road in Kettering.

Kroger is also opening a new 124,000-square-foot store in Fairborn in late August, according to a spokeswoman. Oberer Realty Services announced the grocery retailer will anchor The Shoppes at Valley Greene development near East Dayton Yellow Springs Road in Fairborn.

Starbucks will also open a 2,774-square-feet location in the same development in late summer or early fall.
