The Kroger Co. plans to open five new Marketplace stores and expand the size of three existing locations in North Texas over the next two years.

In the Nov. 8 announcement, the company said that over the next 24 months it will invest $150 million in North Texas on those projects as well as opening multiple fuel centers and remodeling existing properties.

The growth initiative, Kroger says, will create more than 1,700 full- and part-time career opportunities that offer competitive pay, healthcare plans, retirement options, product discounts and other incentives.

“Kroger is a company that is focused on smart, strategic growth and providing a highly-satisfied customer shopping experience. Dallas is a market that continues to attract new residents and retailers because of its economic strength and stability,” said Bill Breetz, president of Kroger Southwest. “We’ve operated here since 1958. In that period, we’ve grown our footprint to 85 stores and 43 fuel centers. We’ve successfully reached this point by closely monitoring the unique needs of this market and evolving to meet the requests of our customers.”
