DALLAS, TX - Kroger’s Dallas Division welcomed the community to its newest Kroger Marketplace store in Plano, Texas, located at 9617 Coit Road on Friday, January 24. The store replaces the grocer’s former location at 9700 Coit Road in Plano, Texas, effective immediately. The new 125,000-square-foot store is an investment of $31 million in the community and provides the City of Plano access to more than 35,000 fresh, affordable products, and more than 130 newly created jobs.

“As North Texas and this community continues to grow, simply moving our location to the Southeastern corner of Coit Road will provide greater access to fresh, affordable groceries and more convenience for drivers entering and exiting from all access points,” said Keith Shoemaker, President, Kroger’s Dallas Division. "We recognize Kroger’s unique role in the communities we serve. As an employer, grocery retailer, healthcare provider, and more, we have a responsibility to create positive change and deliver on Our Purpose to Feed the Human Spirit.”

According to a release, the new Kroger Marketplace store in Plano will feature an enhanced selection of products for shoppers who crave Asian flavors, with an increased variety of current selections and new products. The store will also feature the best that Kroger has to offer, including a Starbucks kiosk, Murray’s Cheese counter, a fuel center featuring 18 fueling positions, and a grab & go kiosk with beverages and snacks, full-service grocery, produce, floral, meat, and seafood, pharmacy, and expanded general merchandise, including outdoor living products, home goods, apparel, toys, and more.

During the grand opening event held on Thursday, January 23, 2025, Kroger made a donation to support local hunger relief organization Minnie’s Food Pantry as part of the company’s Zero Hunger Zero Waste social and environmental impact plan. Kroger also contributed thousands of dollars in cash and products to ten local schools as part of the company’s Return to School program. The festivities also featured the T.C. Jasper High School Orchestra and the Plano High School Marching Band and Cheer Team.

To commemorate the Grand Opening celebration, shoppers at this location were presented with a special weekly advertisement that featured exclusive savings for this store from January 24-28, 2025, including .20 cents off per gallon at the store’s new Fuel Center with a Kroger Rewards Card during the weekend of January 24-26, 2025.

Shoppers attending the grand opening were surprised and delighted throughout the morning with prizes, including gift cards and small appliances. The grocer also provided coupons for free products to make the perfect breakfast to the 200 shoppers who followed.

The new store is the second new Marketplace format store built by Kroger in North Texas. The grocer opened a new Marketplace store in Melissa, Texas, in October 2024. Kroger will open a new Marketplace store in North Fort Worth later this year. The company has also announced plans to break ground on new Marketplace stores in Little Elm and the Sendera Ranch neighborhood of Fort Worth later this year.
