Grocery wants to take adjacent space of clothing retailer

The East Nashville Kroger located near Five Points is looking to expand its space.

Kroger Nashville spokeswoman Melissa Eads said the grocery store, located at 711 Gallatin Ave., would like to take the adjacent space occupied by clothing retailer Citi Trends.

“We have not yet applied for a permit to expand the store but that is our intention,” Eads said. “We hope to receive the permit in the next few weeks, and begin the project of expanding into the Citi Trends site by the middle of next year, with a completion date of sometime in 2019.”

Eads said the company will share more specific details as the process moves further along.

The Eastland Kroger continues to see updates, with the most recent effort having involved the entrance and some product lines.

In mid-2015, the store received a moderate remodeling that included decor improvements related to shelving, lighting, cases and flooring.

If the expansion materializes, the store will span about 50,000 square feet. The current store, which is no larger than 40,000 square feet, is one of the smaller Krogers in Davidson County.

Gallatin Realty Partners owns the property. A predecessor entity, Gallatin Realty Ltd , acquired it in 1977 for $100,000, according to Metro records.
