HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — Kroger opened a new $40 million Marketplace store in Mechanicsville on Wednesday, becoming the largest location in the Mid-Atlantic region and nearly doubling the staff from its previous location.
The 118,300-square-foot facility at 6468 Mechanicsville Turnpike offers a significantly expanded shopping experience. The “one-stop-shop” features a Murray’s Cheese counter, a pharmacy, home goods, activewear, an 18-pump fuel center and a new Picadeli Salad Bar.
The new store employs 300 associates, a significant jump from the 160 workers at the previous Mechanicsville location.
