Kroger Marketplace

The people who work at this Kroger are seriously the nicest and make this Kroger a really nice place to shop– they even offered to season and bake my turkey for Thanksgiving last year (for free!).

Where’s the local? Grass feed beef from Uruguay? I only saw a small bin of local corn. With all the advertising about local recently I would expect a few tomatoes or squash. Thought I would give them a chance again, just not working for me. This is a very large store, not my preference.

Love love love this place. They have everything you need to make life easier and more enjoyable. The produce is always super fresh and there is a great variety. And it’s nice to have a cup of Starbucks to start your shopping trip.

I love this Kroger Marketplace for many reasons: their produce, you can find exotic items from many countries and locally grown goods that are super fresh. The cheese selection is outstanding, and if you’re getting something from the deli and don’t want to wait, just enter your order into the deli kiosk and it’ll be waiting for you when you’re done shopping. I also love the beer and wine selection. This place offers a great variety of craft beers, make your own six packs, and wine tastings. Good times!

I go here quite often as it’s very near where I live. Also even closer to where I «dog sit».
For this reason I find it very convenient. Also they have made it quite easy and convenient to get out of there without have to wait forever to check out. Between having enough registers open and self-​help registers available I usually never have to wait forever to check out!
Their prices are reasonable but could be a bit lower. But you can find some really good deals there!
For the most part I have no problems with them.

After moving to Dayton I had to find a new Kroger. Coming from a small town I was blown away that I actually had 4 to chose from. After visiting this location I was hooked. Great selection on everything and the workers are all pretty nice! The workers at Starbucks and the cheese counter know me by name (which could be a bad thing!) and they’re always helpful!
Also, the place is huge! It has it’s own furniture store! I know this because I had to go hunt for the milk… which is the reason I’m stopping at 4 stars. Yes, I applaud them for their maniacal genius by making me walk through aisles of things that I don’t need, but will buy since I walked past it. But you almost need to set up base camp and head to the milk summit in the morning… thank goodness I only need a gallon every other week!

Absolute Five Star Kroger!
This is a place so classy, you won’t mind paying slightly more sometimes for their goods because it is so pleasurable to shop there, in a beautiful store brimming with skylights (ahh) with friendly helpful employees, expansive fresh and organic produce sections, amazing organic food sections, devoted to the healthy lifestyle enthusiast, and seemingly never ending variety of neat things to shop for! This store has a beautiful furniture and décor section, bedding, bath linen, framed art, rugs, toys, even a wine tasting bar! Wow! I adore shopping here, it is by far our favorite place to be when we need groceries right next to Dorothy Lane, which is a bit too far for us to drive sometimes when we’re short on time. We just purchased a lovely outdoor fire pit embellished dining table set today and they were so amazingly helpful, loading it into our car, helping us select one, etc. They were wonderful. So many other stores would have passed us around playing «musical employees» with us to pass on the hassle, but today we were served by one person selflessly and we appreciated that so much!
Also, this is the only place I know of where I can get the Trident Cinnamon gum without Aspartame added to the Xylitol blend. I don’t know why it is so hard to find otherwise, but regardless they have it here consistently. They also have neat car carts for the kiddos, they are so fun! The internal starbucks is well appointed and well placed, relaxing despite being an addition to a grocery store. I also love their kitchen section, which stocks pyrex, small appliances, and my favorite Nordic Ware bakeware, which is super high quality and until now, only available on an online site at similar prices. I love this store! They have such cute kitchen stuff!
The only complaints I have for this location are very small in comparison to their many virtues. Number one, they don’t keep their kiddo cookies stocked. You know, the free cookies every kid LOVES to get when they have to sit in a cart for a shopping marathon? Yeah, they have a problem of adults taking advantage of them being out and thus have cut way back on the refills. And lastly, they are completely unreliable with keeping their Kale (any kind) in stock. I cannot live without my kale, I go through about ½ pound a day (yeah, health nut) so driving a half hour each way to find it missing is a bummer. Luckily they have a lesser location near my home that keeps it overflowing consistently, so my solution has been to go to that one for my Kale and this one for everything else that I don’t buy on base. Voila! Problem solved. See? minor problems.
Awesome, awesome store! More than highly recommended!

I gave this a 5 because for a few reasons (½ star each)
(1) This Kroger is the largest Kroger I’ve seen. In addition to as nice of food selection as I’ve seen in any Kroger, this store has a whole corner of the building devoted to furniture.
(2) The staff are all friendly. I have gotten to know a few of them and miss them if they aren’t in when I’m there.
(3) The place is clean.
(4) They have a good selection of fresh foods.
(5) There’s a good Starbucks inside.
(6) They have a fuel station outside.
(7) They have wine tastings twice a week.
(9) It’s my favorite place to buy groceries. I drive past 2 other Kroger stores to visit this one… It’s just that much nicer.
(10) because I couldn’t give it 4.5 stars. (They don’t sell strong liquor, so I have to get that elsewhere…)

Wow! The gas prices may be rising, but I only paid $ 1.83 per gallon just the other day! I just purchase the gift cards which give 4x fuel points.
The reason for the downgrade…
Be warned that this particular Kroger usually charges 5 – 10 cents per gallon more than other Krogers, which erodes the value of fuel points, so I usually purchase fuel at other Kroger gas stations (eg, the Kroger on Dorothy Lane).
…then again, it’s fun to have a free lunch while munching at all the free tastings… lol

Being in the Air Force I am partial to using the commissary on base, the prices are better than off base and it’s very convenient for me. But when I moved to Dayton two months ago with my wife that all changed. The commissary on base is one of the worst I’ve seen in my time in the service and it’s a pain in the ass to get to.
Which is why I am now such a fan of this Kroger. I’ve been to Kroger stores when I was stationed in Arkansas and know they are great stores. This one in particular has great produce, meat and prepared foods sections. The sushi bar is actually making some of the best sushi in town. The store is clean, well-​stocked and an all-​around great shopping experience.
The store can get very crowded but they usually have a lot of check-​out lanes open. Also, be vigilant in the parking lot since many people do not pay attention when they drive.

I love this grocery store. Who would have though I could be so happy with a grocery shopping experience. They have a nice organic section as well and it is very clean.
I go here everytime I need groceries, no where else. Even the sushi is better than some local places! Sad, but true. They have great produce and a great fresh fish selection. My husband & I have fish often so it is nice to have the non-​frozen kind.
My husband is in the military so I can go to the commisary but while the prices are better they don’t have anything fresh really. The commisary produce is okay, but not great and no fresh fish or meat department. That and all the old people really annoy me so I end up spending double the time in the commisary than I would at the Kroger, for worse quality of food. I will pay the extra dollars any time just for the quality.
The only down side is that there are so many people (so check out is slow) but who can blame them really.

It is a top of the line grocery store. Everything is clean and nicely arranged.
The only issue I had with the store was its layout. It is rather difficult to navigate through the store to find what you want if you are sticking to a grocery list.
Overall a great experience and we will be going back. I’s sure we will figure our way around the place eventually. Maybe we’ll make a map.

I remember when Kroger used to be a scary place where good produce went to die. But… wow…I mean holy freakin’ hell! This Kroger is beautiful and the food they have is amazing: Boar’s Head meat out the yin yang, great looking sushi, a bakery that makes legit good breads, excellent fish market. I was seriously impressed and extremely jealous that this place doesn’t exist in Maryland.
Some recommendations:
Boar’s Head bacon, garlic clove bread, garlic pickles, sea salt butter, pretty much everything else.

Ok, I never thought I would bother to write a review on a basic every day grocery store… but Kroger Marketplace is pretty great. If I am in the area and need to do my weekly shopping — I’m there. If there was one closer to me, I would convert from a Meijer Shopper to a Kroger Shopper.
Let me say — this is not a standard Kroger — which is why I actually like it. For you Starbucks freaks… yes, there is a Starbucks when you first walk in.
But what else? oh…
A SUSHI Station
An olive bar
A HUGE salad bar
A bistro area to eat whatever sandwich, sushi, soup or goodness you bought
A GREAT fresh baked area for breads
HUGE deli (which BTW — actually gets crawfish in every once in a blue moon. which in my book is better than never, AND it was from Louisiana. A+)
The bakery/​deli/​sushi area has sample stations everywhere which are filled all the time, but if you happen to be there on a Saturday you generally get the «cart lady» samples —- last time they were actually giving out sushi samples. I WAS EXCITED.
The enlarged deli area also carriers an array of fresh soups that normal Krogers do not carry. Good one to try: Corn & Crab Chowder. Yum! They also have a lot more cheese and fresh made dips. This is a great place to stock up for a party.
I also have to say it was very well stocked, clean and organized. They have everything from patio furniture to sushi so I’m sure you could find something to entertain yourself with even if grocery shopping is a mundane weekly activity.

This Kroger store is definitely a great place to shop. Their produce department is the best around Beavercreek. If you catch the right sale, you can definitely save some money shopping here.
The store has a great organic section with a variety on par to a mini-​version of Whole Foods. While Wegman’s is the gold standard for grocery stores this Kroger is the best around.

I never thought I could get so excited for a grocery store. (I must be getting old). But this Kroger has it all! I probably spent about 2 hours there today. Anyways, I digress. First of all their bakery, grill, deli, fruit and vegetable section are all very impressive. And they have a ton of samples to try, of pretty much everything. I got full just walking around and trying all the samples.
The organic section is pretty impressive compared to other Krogers I have been too. I found everything I was looking for, and at decent prices. They have a large selection and the store is nicely laid out. I found everything on my shopping list and with minimal effort. I actually have to pass a regular Kroger to get to this one. Sad. but that’s the truth.
The employees here are all super friendly. Everyone I passed asked if I needed help or if I was looking for something. Admittedly I did look pretty lost just wandering around. I’ve never been to a grocery store and gotten this level of service. Also I hear they will order anything for you that they don’t have in stock. They actually got alligator meat for my sister.
I don’t think I will shop anywhere else again!

This is a fantastic store. It’s got so much to offer. The produce/​deli/​bakery section are fantastic! There is a huge variety– more than your standard grocery store and there are often awesome samples to try.
The drive up window to the pharmacy is very convenient, and of course there is a gas station too (but it’s a little pricey, compared to the Fairborn Kroger).
Another nice feature is that they have thoughtfully put some milk, eggs and bread near the front of the store for those people coming in for a quick trip.
I do have a couple of complaints, which prevents me from giving this store 5 stars. First, many of the aisle markers are still blank, making it tough to find items at time. It’s a very large store, so having to back track can be annoying. Second, in the parking lot, there are so many cart corrals in the lanes closed to the store. In one lane there are at least 4! That seems a bit overkill. But these are minor, and do not let them stop you from visiting this store!

This place is very much like Whole Foods Market!
It opened in November 2010 and redesigned the entire place. There’s a lot of unique food for sale here, like Mascarpone cheese (used for Tiramisu), Coconut Milk (SoDelicious brand), a huge new bakery section, hot food section, and interesting items. Basically, I think they modeled after the Whole Foods Market because it is like one of those trendy, expensive markets in middle-​upper class neighborhoods.
I like Kroger for the fact that it has beef shank bones for sale, which is perfect for making soup and broth (sulung tang/​japanese ramen, etc). None of the other markets including Meijers sells soup bones… sometimes the Commissary on-​base carries them seasonally.
By the way, the other Kroger’s are *NOTHING* like this one. If you think all Kroger markets are like this one, you will be disappointed. Some of them are pretty run down like the one in South Smithville Road.

Kroger Marketplace definitely beats out the old Kroger that it replaced, however, I do not it completely beats the Kroger located on Stroop Road by Trader Joe’s. For one, it lacks a comprehensive bakery section that is seen in the Kroger Fresh Fare on Stroop Road. Another quirk, is that the sushi provided in the Marketplace contains too much sushi in a container, making it hard to eat in one meal, which for my family, poses a problem and leads to waste since we do not like to eat old vegetable sushi. The organic section for produce seems to be lacking as well.
There are definite pros to Kroger Marketplace. It is closer to where I live and it has a gas station! It also sells furniture and other household goods. The samples during lunchtime and dinner are awesome. My kids love the little carts to push around so I do not have to push one, but they often have to be refereed. The staff is everywhere and very helpful and the store is huge. I do not care much for the jewelry store, Fred Meyers, but if you like jewelry, well, there it is. They also have a drive through pharmacy.

The old Beavercreek Kroger is history and in its place is the new Kroger Marketplace. This is a beautiful store chock full of temptations to spend some money on for dinner. The produce section is wonderful and the many take home food choices are appealing. It also carries furniture and jewelry (!) Parking is a bit better than the old store… oh, and they have a gas station, too. The Starbucks is still here as well, with a comfy seating area.
