HOUSTON — A Kroger Marketplace store that recently opened in the Houston suburb of Richmond includes a 2,400-square-foot Ashley furniture display, according to Kroger officials.
The Ashley products, which include upholstery, dining room and occasional pieces, are a key part of the Marketplace store format, which also has items such bed and bath products, jewelry and toys in addition to the traditional supermarket, the company said.
The new store is 125,000 square feet, about one-quarter of which is devoted to products for the home that typically aren't found in supermarkets.
"The new Kroger Marketplace is a destination shopping experience whether you live near or far from the store," said Bill Breetz, president of Kroger's southwest division.
The store is the first Marketplace store in Texas and the 43rd nationwide. All Marketplace stores carry Ashley furniture, according to a company spokeswoman.
