Kroger was Nashville's tenth-largest employer in 2021, with 7,813 local employees.

The state economic and community development commissioner Stuart McWhorter said: “Tennessee’s unique position offers companies easy access to their customers and suppliers around the globe, so we believe Nashville will be the ideal location for Kroger’s newest cross-dock facility.”

Tennessee State Senator Brenda Gilmore added: “Kroger's investment with Ocado Solutions could mean more efficient next-day and two-day deliveries for online grocery shoppers in Nashville.”
