The first Amazing saving grace of this store is... the lady that makes the FRIED CHICKEN!!! Each week I include a Kroger fried chicken dinner in our menu. Now, the chicken isn't as good as KFC's special recipe... but who can afford KFC's prices??!? No, the lovely lady who fries up Kroger's chicken is a master at her craft... crunchy coating with a tender, juicy interior!!
Second saving grace... in the aftermath of Covid - when stores like Walmart are utterly derogating their pickup customers - this Kroger location is treating their pickup customers with Respect.
I will occasionally attempt to shop inside this store, but since Kroger Corporate had them play "Hide&Seek" with all their center aisles (thinking if they move EVERYTHING around, gullible shoppers will go to the exertion and time to FIND their regularly-shopped items) customers like me (disabled, older with expendable assets) probably went across the street to shop at the nicer Hy-vee.
However, the pickup option is this Kroger's Saving Grace. I can still go to the Kroger Website (NOT the Kroger app... ALSO completely destroyed by Corporate Sapheads) and find my favorites, along with some weekly bargains. Then the lovely pickup department finds my car (30 minutes sooner than they do at Walmart) treats me Respectfully, and loads up my car.
The amazing young man who helped me yesterday was an example. Absolutely freezing temps, brutal windgusts, and this young man is out there loading up cars in a wonderfully organized manner. Courteously, and yes cheerfully!!!
Amazing!
I'm glad that young man, and the older lady who creates perfect fried chicken... understand that just ONE grocery store employee can make a big difference in the life of Peoria's shoppers.
