@Ray: It's the only place around besides Specs that carries my favorite beer!

The new Kroger is just too big for me. Too much real estate between the bread and the milk. I don't like having to make my way through furniture and baby clothes to get a gallon of tea. And how weird is it to have a jewelry store in a grocery? I suppose I'll stick with the Kroger in the back. 4951

Hate the new Kroger. Boring brick building that takes up more space than it needs to. The sales per sqaure foot must be horrendous! I've never seen so much wasted space in a store. To make matters worse, it doesn't even have a larger selection! I can find wider selections of goods at the Kingwood HEB. Compare simple items like pickles; HEB carries a huge variety of brands while the larger Kroger store just has the common national brands. So instead of getting a larger selection of unique goods, I get to walk around cheap furniture and wasted space! 4951

I love the new store, finally getting used to the layout.  Love the exercise you get with all the walking around.  But I have to limit myself to going there too much! love their home section and cookware section just a little TOO much Emoticon 4951

I personally do not care for the layout of the new Kroger...... But my husband does the grocery shopping and loves the online coupons and card discounts. The gas points are a huge perk. 4951

I haven't been in the place yet! My husband has but it's a little too big for him. He doesn't want to browse. He food shops with list in hand - in & out  as fast as possible. 4951

If you are looking for better prices on managers specials and closeouts .....the new kroger marks more stuff down and marks it down more than the back kroger. You would think the older kroger would be just as cheap but they are not right now. Manager specials and closeouts are a per store thing and up to managers and right now the new kroger is marking that stuff down 50 to 75 percent while the back kroger is marking down at 10 to 25 so until that changes I have been hitting the front kroger more. And their eating spot kicks @ss....some really good affordable eating! Advertised sales are the same. 4951

@Burnsway:
I have gotten the chicken cordon blue and it is very good from the eating spot and my DD loves that they have the knock off icee machine and it's cheap. 4951

I was initially surprised by the lack of variety for some things, despite the size of the store. And they are missing some bulk items that I find at HEB, like Himalayan sea salt. Still, it has a better selection than the Porter Kroger or Walmart.
 
Having lived in Alaska, I was used to Fred Meyer Jewelers being in every Fred Meyer Grocery store. Along with a big housewares and apparel section. It was like a super Target. There was also a Fred Meyer liquor store inside the building. You had to purchase all alcohol separately, but at least it was a little more convenient to buy your Vodka, instead of making another stop at "Specs."
 
Being that this is now the closest store to me, I shop there 85% of the time. The layout is a bit awkward, but I am happy that I don't have to drive to WLH for Boar's Head, sushi, or certain organic products.
 
There are still several things that I can only find at HEB or Randall's, and when I fill out special request forms at Kroger, they are ignored. Regardless, this is my store of choice.
 
At first, I was annoyed by the greeters at each door. Then DD and I decided that we are amused every time Francisco is working. He says in his thick South American accent. "Ello, welcome to Krogers." Then as we are leaving, he happily exclaims, "Thank you for chopping!"

@dotti573: Dawn and I can eat till we are about to puke and get drinks for like 6-8 bucks. I always treat her to lunch and a cheap donut before we shop. That way we are stuffed and buy less....lol

When DH lived in Memphis the Kroger's had a Jeweler in it.... Don't remember the name b/c it was over 25 yrs ago! Coming from NJ we had never seen a grocery store so big.  I guess the new one here is the improved model of the one in Memphis.  I remember telling people how there was a jeweler, household stuff, a luncheonette, TCBY yogurt place all inside.  It doesn't take much to impress me...... 4951

I like it, but it's way too big. I am used to the one in the back cause I've shopped there for a long time and know where everything is. Much more manageable. I guess if I went to the new one all the time I would learn the store. My favorite pharmacy peeps moved to the new one and I refuse to deal with the idiots at the back one who have made numerous mistakes so I go to the new one for that and gas. 4951
