The Issue

The Kroger store in Proctorville, Ohio has been a staple in our community for years, providing not only a convenient shopping location for residents on this side of the Ohio River but also contributing significantly to our local economy. This cherished store serves as a hub for our community, offering a wide range of products from fresh groceries to essential household items, making life a little easier for everyone.

The proposed closure of this Kroger location threatens more than just our convenience. It puts a strain on many families who rely on this store for their weekly groceries. Without this store, residents will have to travel much further to find another grocery store, incurring extra time and travel costs. This could also have a ripple effect on our small businesses, which benefit from the foot traffic that Kroger brings to the area.

Economically, the closure will remove a significant contributor to our local economy. Kroger not only employs local residents, providing much needed jobs, but it also injects a lot of money into our community, supporting everything from local suppliers to community events. The store's presence helps keep local dollars within our community, fostering growth and stability.

Studies have shown that the presence of a key grocery retailer in a small town can significantly improve the wellbeing of its residents, offering affordable and accessible food options. This aligns with Kroger's goal of improving health and adding value to the communities in which it operates.

We urge Kroger and local decision-makers to reconsider the closure of the Proctorville location. An action plan should be put in place to explore alternatives that could keep the store operational. This could include engaging with community leaders to address any financial strains or exploring partnerships with local groups that could help sustain the store's operations.

Join us in urging Kroger to think of the bigger picture and what this decision means for our community. Sign this petition to keep the Proctorville, Ohio Kroger open. Together, we can make a difference and show that this store is valued and needed by many.
