Kroger opened its approximately 57,000-square-foot spoke facility in Johnstown, Colorado, Thursday, that will work in conjunction with its Aurora, Colorado fulfillment center to deliver groceries to customers in Northern Colorado.
"We look forward to connecting more customers in Northern Colorado to Kroger Delivery, which brings the freshest products including Our Brands, directly to customers' doors," said Rebekah Manis, senior director, Kroger Delivery Fulfillment Centers, in a statement. "Kroger Delivery enables us to meet our customers' unique needs and deliver value, like exceptional friendly service from our best-in-class uniformed drivers, and a personalized shopping experience with zero-compromise on convenience, value and selection."
The expansion to the Northern Colorado area represents an extension of a collaboration between Kroger and Ocado Group. In 2018, the companies announced a partnership to establish a delivery network that combines artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, and automation in a new way, bringing first-of-its-kind technology to America, according to Kroger.
