DALLAS, TX - With its first new store in the North Texas region since 2019, Kroger is taking steps to bolster its footprint in the Lone Star State. The retailer’s Dallas Division has announced a new Kroger Marketplace store in Melissa, Texas.

“We are excited to open the new store in the City of Melissa, one of the fastest growing cities in North Texas,” said Keith Shoemaker, President of 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.”

The new location, standing at 123,000 square feet, is the first of its kind in the city. The result of a $36 million community investment, the new store provides access to more than 35,000 fresh, affordable products and creates more than 300 jobs for the local community, a press release explained.

The new store also touts a variety of enticing features, including full-service grocery, produce, floral, and meat and seafood departments.

In honor of the location’s grand opening, Kroger donated to local hunger relief organizations, including North Texas Feed the Need, Feed My Sheep, and Grace Place Food Pantry, as part of the company’s Zero Hunger Zero Waste social and environmental impact plan.
