Grocery Dive reported the development on 2025-04-22. The grocer is shuttering Kitchen 1883 eateries in Union, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, but plans to continue operating a third location in a supermarket next to its headquarters.
The report places the news in a wider commercial context. Kroger plans to close two of the three Kitchen 1883 restaurants it operates on Thursday, the grocery chain disclosed in a social media post last week. The company did not say why it opted to stop operating the eateries, which are located in Union, Kentucky, and Anderson Township, Ohio.
For the food sector, the practical implications extend beyond the immediate announcement. “We are incredibly grateful for the community’s support and loyalty throughout the years,” the spokesperson said, describing Kroger’s move to stop running the two Kitchen 1883 locations as a “difficult decision.”.
Attention now turns to how companies, customers and regulators respond. Kroger, which was founded in 1883, revealed plans for the Kitchen 1883 location in Anderson Township in 2018, following what it said was a successful debut of the Union location.
