***I realized I left the "s" off of Krogers.
I'm going to share a lil secret right here on the internet.
Let me preface this by saying I have no idea if what I'm going to describe will be coming to YOUR Krogers in YOUR area.
I am privy to a new service Krogers will be introducing, at least here where I live, because my son works there. As a matter of fact, he was tapped to be part of the supervisory team that will put it in place and oversee it. That will put him full time, which is great. He can save some money. He also wants to go to school for cyber security, but that's another matter.
Anywho, I think in order to compete with a new Wegman's down the street, they have to up their game. So what they are going to do, is have a new service where for a $5 or $7 fee (can't recall which it is, might be both depending on a few things), you can call in (or text in, I think) your grocery list, and it will be ready for you when you arrive to pick it up. Man, that will be gangbusters during the holidays, right!?
So, it might not be in your area for now, but it might come at some point, who knows? I know we have some Krogers shoppers here, just thought you guys might want to know about this. BTW, don't go ask your Krogers outside of Richmond, VA, when this is coming, they probably won't have a clue or may not even know anything about it. This is a brand new program, and probably won't be at every Krogers.
