Despite facing stiff competition in Memphis from discount chains and department stores that have wedged rows and rows of cheap grocery offerings into their inventories, The Kroger Co. is feeling good about its position here.
That’s partly because this past weekend Kroger expected to take four of the Schnucks stores it bought in a deal announced Sept. 2 and will reopen them as Kroger stores.
Those four stores getting a reboot that’s expected to occur this Sunday are locations at 1761 Union Ave.; 9025 U.S. 64; 1232 E. Shelby Drive; and 3926 Goodman Road.
Kroger spokesman Joe Bell said if all goes well, four additional former Schnucks stores would reopen under the Kroger banner Sept. 24. Those store are at 7735 Farmington Blvd.; 799 Truse Parkway; 576 S. Perkins Road; and 2942 Kirby Whitten Road.
