Recently where I work, in Hernando, they opened up the first Kroger Marketplace in our county! The buzz of one coming had been spreading since the beginning of this year. When it finally opened in late September, that was the talk of the town! Everybody would talk about going and how great it is! It has a bistro with comfort food all the way to sushi! There is also a Starbucks in there! YES, Starbucks! I have been many times already! It is awesome to have because it brings more foot traffic to local stores around town. It also has a great selection of healthy foods from the organic section to the veggies and fruits galore that they carry! It is definitely a huge step in a small town!
