Kroger Fresh Fare 530 East Stroop Road, Kettering, OH 45429

"This store is my favorite in the area. However,I can't understand why the employees find it so incredibly difficult to keep the handicap carts plugged in and charging. I can understand that throughout the day this would be more of an issue because they are being used. But when I come in at 6:30 A.M and NONE of them are charged or even plugged in is absolutely astonishing! We handicap people NEED THESE CARTS!! Please do better!"

"Great store. Everything you need without feelimg like you are in a warehouse. Friendly staff. Dec 2023. This Kroger store is undergoing a major renovation. Today when I went in, I found that the produce section now looks like many of the other produce sections in the much newer and larger Kroger stores. They took over the old drug store that used to be next to the store. About half of the previous drug store is now dedicated to Deli and produce. The produce selection is about three times what it was previously. Everything was well stocked and ready to go."

"Update: I caved and tried this location again because I was tired and it's the closest Kroger to me. I, again, found expired milk. I took it up to the customer service counter, but couldn't find anyone so I left it there. Not two minutes later I see someone putting that same milk back on the shelf! Did they even look it over beforehand??? I took it back up and the lady at the counter was extremely rude to me about it. Why do I even bother. I am done shopping at this location. I don't know who is in charge of checking the expiration dates on the shelves, but I routinely find expired items when I shop here. Two trips ago it was gallons of milk, one trip ago it was literally molded deli meat sitting at the front of the section, and last time it was the picture I attached. I purchased this and got all the way home and DRANK ONE. I checked the expiration after it tasted funny and this was my surprise. I literally purchased this on Sunday. Disgusting."

"This Kroger is usually pretty well stocked, but you can tell that this location is in some need of some updates. As most Kroger’s are, the deals here are always good. The Starbucks is also convenient. A few negatives to this location: Cleanliness, for example it’s rare to go into this Kroger and something not smell odd/bad, and it’s a common occurrence to see food spilt in some isles, or just swept under the shelves. Wait times, if you come here during the weekend, it’s not out of the question to wait a solid 30 minutes in line."

"Large natural/organic section, and organics mixed in elsewhere in the store. Interesting products not found at other nearby grocery stores. Nice pick 6 craft beer selection with some beers also not at nearby stores or bottle shops. Small but respectable international aisle. Good deli, cheese shop. Olive bar, hot and cold food bars. Many prices are competitive, some aren't, if you're a multi-store shopper like me. Noticed a number of OOS items, or items that showed in stock in the app but weren't. Fresh veggie section is small, decent. Very busy in the early evening. Late night weekends are fairly quiet. Side note: Really nice app with shopping list, product locations, coupons, and ability to send instant feedback on missing products."
