Update:

Sixteen months after announcing one of its stores was leaving Ann Arbor, grocery store chain Kroger announced Friday it has purchased seven Hiller's Market grocery stores, including the Ann Arbor location, television station

WDIV reported.

The sale is expected to be finalized in July; however, specific terms of the sale won't be released.

The Ann Arbor Hiller's is located in the Arborland Shopping Center at 3615 Washtenaw Ave.

Details on the conversions of the stores will be announced after the sale is finalized, WDIV reported. Kroger will also be taking over the Hiller's locations in West Bloomfield, Northville, Plymouth, South Lyon and Commerce Township.

Kroger previously operated a store at 1919 S. Industrial Hwy, which is now home to Lucky's Market. Kroger decided to leave the location after failing to come to terms on a lease agreement with property owners.

Following the departure of Kroger, Lucky's Market signed a lease to occupy the space and opened its doors in February.

Other Ann Arbor-area Kroger locations include: 400 S. Maple Road, 2641 Plymouth Road, 3200 Carpenter Road.
