Kroger, the largest traditional grocer in the United States, announced its intentions to establish a new $391 million distribution center in Simpson County.
The project will create approximately 430 new full-time jobs.
The new operation will serve as a full-line distribution center, featuring scalable and automated operations to help supply the region, per the release. This is in addition to the $204 million expansion in Bowling Green where Country Oven, a bakery owned by the Kroger Company, has reinvested in Kentucky.
Kroger maintains nearly 110 stores in Kentucky, employing more than 19,000 associates. The commonwealth also is home to four manufacturing and distribution facilities that service the company, as well as a regional headquarters in Louisville.
