Kroger’s choice to establish a new customer fulfillment center in Dallas is a testament to the state’s exceptional business climate and highly skilled workforce,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “This new center is great news for the people of North Texas, offering the local community greater access to fresh, nutritious foods, and bringing good-paying jobs and economic opportunities to hardworking Texans in the area. I look forward to working alongside the company as we continue to keep Texas the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
“The opening of Kroger’s new customer fulfillment center is a major win for our city — and it represents a tremendous investment in southern Dallas,” Mayor Eric Johnson said. “This means hundreds of jobs, it means more economic development and it means greater access to fresh groceries for all of our residents, including those in our historically underserved and overlooked communities. Together, we are building a more vibrant and more equitable city.”
The new grocery chain will consume about 3,500 square meters of land and will need 500 new employees on their gradual opening.
