it's fresh!
One year ago today, the Hernando Kroger Marketplace celebrated its grand opening – so congrats on your anniversary, Hdo Kroger! To commemorate the event, here's a photo of the store taken during the grand opening event, on January 21st, 2017.
Now... if you've been following my photostream for a while, then you know that what I wrote above is nowhere near the full story at play here, haha! Indeed, this Kroger Marketplace actually first opened its doors to the public several months earlier, back on September 14th, 2016. Kroger simply waited to hold the official grand opening ceremony until the following January so that it would coincide with the opening of the accompanying new fuel center – which itself was delayed so long due to the fact that much of the lot it was built on still had to be fully cleared of its remnants of the old Kroger store and parking lot that once stood on the site!
Confusing, right? Here's that summary again, in order this time: Kroger opened its first store on this site in 2001, then in 2015 began building a new Marketplace store – three times the size of the existing one – on directly adjacent land. Once the new store opened, the old one was promptly demolished and paved over for both more parking and a new fuel center. The project wrapped up (for the most part) in January 2017... and to celebrate the one-year anniversary of that, I'm about to (finally!) upload some interior photos from the new store, beginning this Saturday and spanning 50 photos altogether. Stick around!
If you've got a LOT of time on your hands (say, you've been stuck in the house for an entire week due to snow and ice on the roads like we have XD ) and are interested in the longer, more scenic story, please click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and/or here.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
