On Wednesday, Dec. 6, Kroger Mid-Atlantic will celebrate the completion of four major store renovations throughout Virginia, including its N. Main St location, according to a media release from Kroger.

Combined, the four stores, located in Harrisonburg, Richmond, Rocky Mount and Suffolk, received more than $4.4 million in upgrades, improvements and new offerings. 

The store renovations vary from store to store and include updates to departments like floral, Murray’s Cheese Shop, bakery, natural foods, adult beverage and more. Other renovations include new décor, updated flooring, signage and other elements to ease the shopping experience for customers. 

“This is a big moment for Kroger Mid-Atlantic as we show our associates and customers that we’re committed to these markets, we’ve listened to their feedback and we’re making updates to improve the overall shopping experience,” said Lori Raya, Kroger Mid-Atlantic Division President. “These communities mean so much to Kroger, and it’s important we show up for them by investing in our stores and giving back to local food banks that support our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative.”
