In a boost to the local retail landscape, Kroger’s Columbus Division has unveiled plans for a substantial $68 million investment across central and northwest Ohio for the year 2024. This financial infusion is set to enhance the shopping experience for customers. Among the 18 stores earmarked for remodeling is the Kroger store on Park Ave West in Mansfield, promising an improved shopping environment and upgraded facilities.
Transforming Grocery Shopping in Mansfield
The Park Ave West location is poised for a makeover with an investment of approximately $1.2 million. Scheduled to commence later this spring or early summer, this renovation is part of Kroger’s broader commitment to revitalizing its stores in the Mansfield area. By the time the dust settles on this project, Kroger’s total investment in its three Mansfield stores will have reached an impressive $6.3 million since 2021.
A Commitment to Community and Quality

Mark Bruce, Corporate Affairs Manager for Kroger’s Columbus Division, emphasized the company’s ongoing commitment to the communities it serves, noting that renovation is not only about enhancing the aesthetic and functional aspects of the stores but also about strengthening partnerships with Ohio companies and agricultural producers, ensuring that customers have access to high-quality products.
