SAGINAW TWP, MI -- Saginaw Township's only remaining Kroger store celebrated its grand re-opening Wednesday, Dec. 6, after undergoing a $9.5 million expansion and remodel.

The now 110,000-square-foot store, located at 4672 State St. in Green Acres Plaza, opened at 8 a.m. Wednesday. The first 400 shoppers received $10 Kroger gift cards and free reusable shopping bags, according to a Kroger news release.

Changes to the store include new hot and cold meal selections in the deli, new products in the expanded bakery, meat and seafood departments, a greater variety of baby items and more.

The newly remodeled store features more personal scans and check lanes and offers ClickList, Kroger's online shopping service. The Saginaw store also features a new pharmacy with counseling room, expanded liquor and wine selections and a Western Union location.

"The 34,000-square-foot store expansion allows us to offer additional products and services that meet customers' specific needs," Dave Davis, store manager for the Saginaw Kroger, said in a statement. "The update is just in time for the holidays and customers will likely find many items included on their holiday shopping lists."

The State Street store is Saginaw Township's only remaining Kroger store. The Kroger at 5025 Gratiot Road closed in late November.

Saginaw Township's Kroger store is open 24 hours daily, with the pharmacy open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
