Um, have you been to Kroger on Cedar Springs yet? Likely if you’re in the gayborhood you have, but if not, head there today. They are celebrating their official “reopening” after an interior overhaul. And did they do a good job.
Gone is the dreary white space from before. They’ve spruced it up big time from wider aisles to more hot food options and warmer decor. Think Whole Foods, but more affordable. I was pretty excited about the new look so I dragged John Wright out and we ran over and snapped some pics to give you an idea of the new digs. We didn’t however partake in the barrage of samples they were handing out. I hear they’ll be doing that most of the day. And most of ’em smelled delish. More pics below.
Looks amazing. If only they could’ve done something about the drab exterior and signage. Something with LEDs to add more interest and fit with the neighborhood, especially at night.
On an unrelated note, has DV been following Angela Hunt’s and Pauline Medrano’s plans to redevelop 2 blocks of Lower Greenville? I understand the area needs serious help, but our little gayborhood strip also has a crime problem and has been raising funds for a beautification project of its own. This would be a good time to revisit those plans and maybe ask if the CMs could help us out too (especially in the crime & safety department… police cameras and improved lighting would be a good start).
