Kroger has opened its customer fulfillment center in Aurora, Colorado. This facility expands access to Kroger Delivery by enabling customers across the region to order products for delivery online via the company app or website.
"Kroger Delivery, proudly serving King Soopers and City Market, will connect more Coloradans to a convenient shopping experience," said Rebekah Manis, senior director of Kroger Delivery Fulfillment Centers, in a statement. "Kroger Delivery means more customers can enjoy high-quality, affordable groceries ordered through an easy-to-use online experience."
The approximately 300,000-square-foot facility will deliver groceries and home essentials to customers up to 90 minutes away. Kroger Delivery uses current technology, temperature-controlled vans, and optimized delivery routes to ensure only the freshest products are delivered to customers' homes, according to the company.
"Kroger's facility will serve as a critical food distribution hub and may attract more fresh food options such as urban farms and greenhouses that work with Kroger,” said Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman in a statement.
The facility brings roughly 200 jobs to the area.
"This facility is not only an incredible investment to our local economy but also a great convenience, providing a delivery option to those in our community who may have mobility issues, or simply lack the time to go into a physical location,” said Steve O'Dorisio, Chair of Adams County Board of Commissioners, in a statement. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Kroger and supporting their efforts to bring affordable, high-quality groceries to our community."
Kroger currently operates customer fulfillment centers in Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, Michigan, and Colorado with additional customer fulfillment centers slated for California, Maryland, Arizona, and more.
