KROGER has confirmed it will open two new stores that will look different to all of its other locations.
The grocery chain revealed it will debut “Asian experience” supermarkets that will give shoppers new food options.
These branches will open in the Dallas, Texas, area next year, according to Grocery Dive.
Two pre-existing Kroger stores will be converted and filled with more Asian food items.
They will also feature a wider range of multicultural products.
These stores will also look different, with new decor and signs.
The exact locations are not confirmed but they will be in Denton County and Collin County.
Kroger has not confirmed whether it will open more of these stores in different parts of the country.
Northern Texas has seen an increase in its Asian community, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Other retailers in the area have also changed their in-store offerings to accommodate these population shifts.
Kroger has previously adjusted another store to cater to its local community.
The retail giant introduced a “Hispanic Experience” location in another Dallas neighborhood.
This store stocked Hispanic food and even had its signs in both English and Spanish.
Kroger also remodelled one of its signature Houston, Texas, locations in September, The U.S. Sun has previously reported.
This branch had even implemented a store-made ceviche.
Each is on sale at $6.99 for a 14-ounce container.
Another first at this location is a juice bar, which will sell fresh-squeezed drinks, smoothies, and fruit seasoned in “traditional chamoy and tajin seasoning.”
A Kroger spokesperson explained how this store should appeal to all local customers.
“As we were developing the store layout and merchandising scheme, it was important to create an experience inclusive of all customers while accentuating the vibrant Hispanic culture shaped by an overwhelming majority of our customers at this store,” they said.
KRO-NO
Kroger shoppers have been warned to double-check their gift cards before purchasing to avoid getting scammed, The U.S. Sun has previously reported.
Police uncovered an elaborate international organized theft ring.
Six men from China were caught cutting vouchers out of their sleeves, redeeming the money, and then returning them for unsuspecting customers to buy, according to cops.
