Kroger opening in Simpsonville? Is it true?

Kroger Coming to Simpsonville ?

As a local Realtor we didn’t expect the Outlet Mall alone to positively affect our real estate market, but a Kroger grocery store is a quantum leap!  Simpsonville has needed a grocery store for a long time, a Dollar General is not a substitute, and it sounds like Simpsonville is getting what it needs.

Barr’s Grocery was an option at one time but YUCK was it a nasty dirty place and now its gone for some years.  When the Metzgers building started to go up rumors bounced around that a grocery was in the works….it sadly wasn’t true.  Meanwhile Huck’s has filled in well for a grocery store that isn’t coated in smoke and grease (there is still one of those here). While Huck’s is currently undergoing construction on the fuel I’m not sure if they’ll get new fueling stations by the current lack of plumbing sticking out of the ground.

A Culver’s restaurant and a Kroger store are expected to open soon on nearby properties. Also, a Bob Evans Restaurant is in the works, he said.
