Wednesday morning saw Kroger Mid-Atlantic commemorate another Suffolk re-grand opening.
Located on 1017 University Blvd, Kroger company officials, store employees and Suffolk City Council members celebrated the completion of the store’s remodeling with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The $2.2 million store upgrade included updates to the meat, deli and sushi departments as well as additional expansions for produce, bakery, and adult beverage options. The store also remodeled the restrooms and installed brand new kitchen and apparel sections.
Kroger Mid-Atlantic Division President Lori Raya started the ceremony by discussing how her and her team’s “greatest days” are the opportunities to celebrate their employees.
“It’s a tough business that you’re in. It’s 24/7, there’s a lot of challenges, we get storms every once in a while. We write crazy hot ads and the customers come in droves which we really like, but it’s a hard business and if you ever wonder if we appreciate you, just know that we really, truly do,” Raya said.
