CINCINNATI — Kroger Co. is set to open a downtown Cincinnati store on Wednesday, Sept. 25. This is the first downtown store in a half-century for the Cincinnati-based grocer, according to the Cincinnati Business Courier. The new store is located at the corner of Court and Walnut streets, across from the company’s headquarters. The 45,000-square-foot, two-story store will include five restaurants within a food hall. It will be known as Kroger on the Rhine, replacing an existing Kroger store in the Over-the-Rhine district. Besides the Kroger store, the 18-story building comprises a 139-unit apartment complex known as 1010 on the Rhine.
