Kroger makes $150 million capital commitment to Dallas-Fort Worth market

DALLAS — Kroger, already the market share leader among traditional grocers in Dallas-Fort Worth, is expanding its presence in one of the largest metropolitan regions in the United States, the company announced Friday. Over the next 24 months, Kroger will invest $150 million in North Texas to build five new Marketplace stores and to expand three locations, along with opening multiple fuel centers and remodeling existing properties. 

"Kroger is a company that is focused on smart, strategic growth and providing a highly-satisfied customer shopping experience," stated Bill Breetz, president Kroger Southwest. "Dallas is a market that continues to attract new residents and retailers because of its economic strength and stability," he said. "We've operated here since 1958. In that period, we've grown our footprint to 85 stores and 43 fuel centers. We've successfully reached this point by closely monitoring the unique needs of this market and evolving to meet the requests of our customers."

The Kroger Southwest Division operates 211 stores, 201 pharmacies and 116 fuel centers in Texas and Louisiana.
