Kroger's big $4 billion expansion plan
Kroger has big expansion plans in 2016.
How big?
Enough to build both the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati and the Great American Tower at Queen City Square – five times. Enough to rebuild the Brent Spence Bridge – twice. Enough to buy Convergys and Chemed combined – not just the Downtown buildings, but both entire companies.
Kroger's not just spending a ton of money – if it were in $100 bills, the Cincinnati- based retailer would be spending almost 41 tons of money.
It's spending more than $4 billion to open new stores, expand or renovate old supermarkets and upgrade technology and logistics to support them.
Executives say their fill-in strategy includes helping newly acquired subsidiaries, North Carolina-based Harris Teeter and Wisconsin's Roundy's, execute –and accelerate – their previous expansion plans.
Kroger officials won't elaborate, but Harris Teeter was making a push into the Washington, D.C. market. With its more formidable financial resources, Kroger has already bankrolled a $95 million distribution center in Caroline County, Virginia, an hour south of the nation's capital.
