ENGLEWOOD, Ohio (WDTN) – The Cincinnati and Dayton Division of Kroger announced the grand re-opening of the Englewood Marketplace.

The re-opening celebration will be held throughout the weekend of Jan. 21 through Jan. 23. An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 8 a.m. on Jan. 21 at 885 Union Blvd.

According to Kroger, this remodel is a $2.5 million investment that includes expanded frozen food and produce departments, new deli service offerings, a redesigned pharmacy and more.

“We want to thank our customers for being patient with us through this transition. My team and I are excited about the updates and the fresh look of our store. We think the Englewood community is going to love what we have done and our customers are going to be proud to call the Englewood Marketplace ‘My Kroger store,’” said Store Manager Meaghen Sorrell.

Englewood Mayor, Thomas Franz, Jr. and other city and business officials will join in the celebration of the grand re-opening said Kroger. The Northmont High School Band will also take part in the celebration and will receive a $1,000 Kroger gift card to help with band expenses.
