Okay folks, the asphault is down and the parking spot lines are drawn, so the day must be near that our beloved Kroger doors will be open to us loyal shoppers in Fort Mitchell. They are saying possibly it will open by November ! Enquirer Reports: Fort-Mitchell-Kroger-could-be-ready-by-November-1 However, it will not be soon enough.
I popped into the Latonia Kroger a couple of weeks ago (actually two weeks ago tonight) at 7:00 p.m. to get some much needed staples - milk, eggs, lunch box foods, and more. Bananas are a major staple item in our house - we go through anywhere from 2 - 4 per day - fruit smoothies and healthy eating!!! I arrive to the produce section at Kroger in Latonia, and, on the large expansive table which holds a large supply of bananas, there were 8 sole bananas to choose from. Yes, only eight - and not all eight were worth buying! I must say, I applaud the staff at the Fort Mitchell Kroger, as I have never ever seen this at our store and I've been shopping there for the last 10 - 11 years. They would never have a produce area so empty during prime time shopping hours.
The off line conversations about Kroger have been getting desperate. The doors need to open! I suggest we have a tail gate party in the parking lot upon opening! Let's discuss in next post.
To those of you out there still impacted by the loss of our Kroger on a daily basis, may you look elsewhere for your bananas!
