Grocer Announces Multi-Million Dollar Investment in Allisonville Road Corridor
(FISHERS) – Kroger today unveiled plans for an investment of nearly $37 million in Fishers to build a new Kroger Marketplace at 116th and Allisonville Road. The new store, in the northeast corner of the corridor, will replace the current store in the shopping complex across the street.
“Our Fishers Crossing Kroger has always been a friendly, welcoming place for anyone living here or just visiting the city,” said Colleen Juergensen, president of Kroger Central Division. “Over the years, Fishers has become a destination in a way its founders never could have imagined. Our location is a gateway to this vibrant community, and we’re excited to commit the new investment as another ingredient in the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of the city.”
The present Kroger store, at 7272 Fishers Crossing Drive, opened July 28, 1996. The new store will have a footprint of 120,000 square feet, about 50,000 square feet larger than the present store. The additional space will feature an expanded assortment of “fresher than fresh” foods, expanded Kroger Pickup, wider aisles, Starbucks, even fresh, store-made popcorn.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said, “We’re excited to partner with Kroger on their new marketplace and look forward to the expanded options it will bring residents in west Fishers and along Allisonville Road. Their new store is just one of the catalysts that will jump start the transformation of this entire corridor.”
The project’s timeline is still to be determined. Kroger and the City of Fishers will host a public meeting in the coming months to discuss the project.
