Kroger Mid-Atlantic Division headquarters opens in Henrico

Kroger Mid-Atlantic has officially opened its Mid-Atlantic Division headquarters in Henrico’s Far West End. Company officials were joined by Henrico officials to cut a ribbon Jan. 11 signifying the grocer’s new home at 140 East Shore Drive in Glen Allen.

Kroger first announced the relocation in August 2020 and executed its timeline to be “up and running” at the East Shore location at the start of 2021. The move to the region was designed to establish division operations closer to its larger markets and better position it to serve and support all markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

“Everyone has worked hard to get us to this point, and we’re fortunate to have such a positive relationship with our partners at Henrico County,” said Paula Ginnett, president of Kroger Mid-Atlantic. “This is an exciting new chapter for Kroger, and we’re excited to call Richmond home.”

“The Three Chopt District and all of Henrico County are excited to welcome Kroger's Mid-Atlantic Division Headquarters to Innsbrook,” said Chairman of the Henrico Board of Supervisors Tommy Branin, the Three Chopt supervisors.  “Kroger has been a part of many people’s lives in Henrico for many years, and the addition of the new executives and employees to our community is fantastic.”

The move will add 77 jobs to the Richmond-area, a combination of relocations and new hires. Kroger Mid-Atlantic entered the Richmond market in 2000 when it acquired the 10 Hannaford grocery stores. Since then, its presence has grown to 18 stores, including four Marketplace stores and 16 fuel centers.

Kroger Mid-Atlantic operates 110 stores in five states, including Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio.
