Plans for former grocery store to become mixed-retail site formalize
City presents plans showing Ace Hardware may be interested
For generations, the Kroger Grocery on Crawford Street served Denison as a major anchor for downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. While the building s time as a grocery store has passed, the building may see redevelopment soon.
Representatives with the Denison Development Alliance confirmed that the former grocery store has been sold to a new developer who plans to transform it into a mixture of retail uses.
Kroger announced that the grocery would close, marking the company s departure from Denison, in 2019 following nearly 60 years of business in the city. Since then, work to find a new owner and new use has quietly been taking place in the background, DDA President Tony Kaai said.
