Kroger expanding to add drive-throughKroger at 350 U.S. 31-W By-Pass is spending $500,000 to expand its pharmacy to accommodate drive-through customers. While she could not say what the square footage of the expansion would be, Kroger spokesperson Melissa Eads said pretty significant square footage would be added. The expanded pharmacy, scheduled to open March 1, will not mean extended pharmacy hours, Eads said. While the rest of the store is open 24 hours a day, the pharmacys hours are more limited Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. The stores employs more than 100 people. While were in the process of remodeling, the pharmacy will still be open and in business, she said. The expansion will allow customers who maybe have a sick child in the car to get that prescription without coming into the store, Eads said. If they do come in, they will find a larger pharmacy area to accommodate them and a larger counseling area if the pharmacist needs to talk to them. It will be a brand new look.
