The 72,000-square-foot store, 1707 N. Barron St., has Kroger pickup, a Starbucks, Murray’s Cheese, a pharmacy with drive-thru and a fuel center which opened last week.
It resides on the site of a former Kmart.
Kroger has a store about a half mile south on North Barron Street. That location will close after the opening of the new one, according to Kroger.
The new store is a $19 million investment in the region, Kroger said in a release, part of a plan to invest $130 million in 2025 throughout Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
On Friday, doors open at 8 a.m. with the first 150 customers receiving a $20 Kroger gift card.
The celebration begins at 7:30 a.m. with local officials, Kroger representatives and a performance by the Eaton High School band.
