Kroger is set to construct a distribution center in Kentucky with an investment of nearly $400 million.

Kroger plans to establish a $391 million distribution center in Franklin, Kentucky, aimed at enhancing its supply chain operations in the region. This facility is expected to create approximately 430 full-time jobs and will feature scalable, automated processes. Although the exact timeline for the project is unclear, it will support Kroger's Nashville Division by replenishing stores. The grocery chain has been revising its supply chain strategies, including recent closures of automated fulfillment centers, and is currently searching for a permanent CEO.
