Serving as last-mile cross-dock locations, the new spokes will operate as a seamless extension of regional fulfillment centers, making Kroger Delivery available to more customers in Tennessee and Illinois.
“Kroger Delivery promises an unparalleled shopping and delivery experience, making fresh just one click away at Kroger or the Kroger app,” said Bill Bennett, Kroger Vice President and Head of E-commerce. “From personalized digital offers to our white glove delivery service, the Kroger seamless ecosystem saves time and money. Kroger Delivery orders are brought to customers in our branded delivery trucks and delivered to their doorstep by our trained and uniformed associates—all with zero compromise.”
