I'm sad beyond words that Kroger has decided to discontinue delivery in Florida. I have received and read several stories as to "why", but none of them make sense.
When I moved to Florida a decade ago, the only thing missing was Kroger. Then, a few years back, they started delivering here. It's not like the brick & mortar store experience, but it was better than nothing and being stuck with just the "P" and the "WD" stores. I felt like things were close to perfect since I could get a good part of my Kroger brand items. I grew up in Ohio and grew up shopping at Kroger, so I got used to things and miss certain things when I can't get them. Being able to get items here that I love made a huge difference. But alas, they are leaving. I have appreciated being able to get my products and having such great experiences with the delivery folks. You see the trucks everywhere, and 7 out of every 10 people I know order from Kroger. I hope one day they will come back. Rumor has it that a Harris Teeter may open in St Augustine, and that is a Kroger brand store. I wish it were coming to the Murabella, the north US 1 area for St Augustine, Durbin, or the Nocatee area. But it's all a rumor, but hint, hint! I'm sad, but I have nothing but good things to say about all the delivery folks and team that serviced us since their opening, not to mention all the money I've saved on gas!
Although I have a few more weeks of getting deliveries before you close down operations here in Florida, I want to say "thank you". Thank you doesn't seem like it's enough though, so how about..."Pretty please, with sugar on top, come back or build some stores!"
