Exciting news for Clarksvillians... the newest and biggest Kroger in this area opened on November 5th. Although I had missed the much anticipated Grand Opening, I saw the parking lot was completely full that day & into the night. I love the warehouse style high ceilings that this Kroger has with a Starbucks inside as well as an area with tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee or a bite to eat from the deli! Guess that is what makes it a Marketplace and stand out from the other Krogers. The design makes the place seem larger than it actually is. I enjoyed the spaciousness, especially in the produce section making it easy to maneuver with a cart. It is welcoming as you first walk inside. The kid-sized carts are cute, but they have only a few available. My little one was disappointed as they were all in use during our visit. No fun car-themed carts either.
I grabbed lunch to go with my groceries. Quick stop on the way home after church, but the aroma of just finished chicken only increased my hunger. My little one kept asking for a piece saying how good the fried chicken smelled all the way to the checkout line! Haha. Next time, I'm ordering the savory baked chicken!
Every employee I encountered was friendly and helpful. I walked down most aisles, but only grabbed one hand-carry basket full of groceries. Many options of grocery items, pharmaceuticals, home goods, including a good selection of wines, flower bouquets / arrangements and some articles of clothing. As the first reviewer stated, this Kroger really is a one-stop shop! I could have easily spent hours shopping there, if I went through every single aisle! It took a little over half an hour to get ten or so items plus Starbucks! read more
