Kroger Bakery

This bakery has some of the best baked goods of many of the others we’ve been to. I love the home baked breads and especially the doughnuts when you can get them right after they bring them out. They will also bake a cake for that special occasion as long as you get you order in early. They are yummy.

Kroger Marketplace is the newish replacement for the old Kroger Store. It is huge compared to most standard Kroger stores. One employee said it is the size of 5 football fields put together (and I think that’s probably true).
Good features: 1. Much bigger produce area 2. Outstanding fresh deli with products you won’t find in most stores 3. Expanded meat department that includes fresh fish and meats packaged by the butcher for you upon request 4. Large ethnic food row that includes Chinese, Thai, German, British, East Indian, Polish, Kosher, and others 5. Large organic food section 6. Bulk dispensers with legumes and grains 7. all the other normal grocery products 8. Efficient pharmacy and large selection of OTC products
9. Varied selection of housewares, dishes, pans, linens, baby items, toys, storage solutions, and furniture. 10. Sufficient number of mortorized shopping carts for those who can’t walk the massive store 11. Plenty of check out lanes to keep the lines short.
Poor features:1. Most checkers are o.k. but choose your lane by who the bagger is (not all baggers understand the fine art of keeping raw meat separate from fresh vegetables, or that you don’t put cans on top of fresh tomatoes, apples, etc.) 2. It isn’t a great store to quickly run in for one item because it’s just too big.
Try this store, I think you’ll be surprised at the variety.
