Kroger to open fulfillment center in Nashville

Kroger Fulfillment Network, LLC officials announced that Kroger Co., America’s largest grocery retailer, will offer more Americans product delivery through the addition of a “spoke” facility in Nashville. The approximately 40,000-square-foot facility will serve as a last-mile cross-dock location that efficiently extends the fulfillment network reach to customers up to 200 miles away from a state-of-the-art, robotically automated Atlanta fulfillment center powered by the Ocado Group. The facility will serve the Middle Tennessee region by supporting and facilitating Kroger’s direct-to-customer product delivery. Kroger is one of the world’s largest retailers, with nearly half a million associates who serve more than 11 million customers daily through a seamless digital shipping experience and roughly 2,800 retail food stores under a variety of banner names.
