| Kroger closes Dayton location. It angers community. |
Tornado damaged Northridge is losing a major grocery store. Kroger is leaving the community without resources to food.
Food desert Dayton, Ohio. A chronic problem plaguing America's dying communities. Dayton is one of the many dying communities Trump promised to make great again.
What happened?
They got money to open up upscale locations but not enough to keep stores in poor communities running.
Kroger will open up their new three story downtown store at the end of the month in Cincinnati. However in a handful of states, Kroger is closing stores.
Kroger is planning on closing the Dayton location on Needmore Road. That includes its gas station and pharmacy.
Folks in the Northridge community are angry over the decision. They felt that Kroger abandoned them. Now they have to travel at least five to ten miles to the nearest Kroger for their grocery shopping.
The closest Kroger locations is located on West Siebenther Avenue in Harrison Township, Northwoods Boulevard in Vandalia and Brandt Pike in Dayton/Huber Heights.
Hmmm.....
I guess Kroger picks it stores based on sales. So sales dropped. We had a freaking tornado destroy that region.
Why they didn't go after the smaller stores?
I bet you money some troll will bring up race and social class to why Kroger closing up the Needmore location.
Dayton has Wayne Avenue which serves those near the University of Dayton. This is the smallest location in the Kroger Dayton region. It could be next on the chopping block.
It also has the South Smithville Road location that serves the East Dayton and Riverside community. I assume that will be the only location left in the city.
It has a location on Spinning Road in Riverside that serves those near Wright Patterson Air Force Base. That is the second smallest parcel in the Kroger Dayton region.
I am sick of the bad news in Dayton. We need new leadership.
