Kroger broke ground Thursday on its latest major investment in central Indiana. The grocer will build another Kroger Marketplace, this time in Noblesville. Construction will begin soon at the northeast corner of 146th Street and Howe Road, preparing a new level of service in another rapidly growing area of Hamilton County.

“This is an exciting time to be in Noblesville,” Kroger Central Division President Colleen Juergensen said. “Kroger is thrilled to have such an important role in the awesome transformation taking place here. Our investment in this new store means Kroger is growing with Noblesville, supporting the city’s ideals of commerce, culture and community. We’re confident the new store will complement the quality of life that’s drawing people here.”

The new Kroger Marketplace will span nearly 123,000 square feet, room enough for more than two standard football fields under one roof. With the additional size the new store will feature wider aisles, Murray’s Cheese and expanded deli options, Starbucks, popcorn made fresh in the store and an array of features that provide exceptional convenience and value for Kroger customers in Noblesville.

“We look forward to welcoming the Kroger Marketplace to Noblesville,” Mayor Chris Jensen said. “This new location will increase access to quality ingredients and provide more shopping options for our growing community. Kroger’s commitment to giving back to the community and investing in our local economy will enhance our workforce and options available to residents.”

The new Noblesville store represents what Kroger calls an “aggressive” commitment to new stores in growing communities. In 2024, the grocer invested $56 million in remodeling and construction across Indiana, highlighted by the January opening of Fishers’ new Kroger Marketplace. Kroger will continue such investments in 2025, dedicating an additional $25 million to enhance the shopping experience for its Hoosier customers.

Kroger representatives also said the project represents more than a new store. It reflects the grocer’s commitment to its communities. Kroger and Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States, joined for a donation of $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville (BGCN). The funds will help the club provide nutritious food to its young members.

“Each week, the Boys & Girls Club serves over 1,000 snacks during our after-school program,” BGCN Executive Director Becky Terry said. “This generous support from Kroger and Coca-Cola Consolidated will ensure that every child who walks through our doors has the energy to learn, play, and grow. Because when kids are fed, they’re focused. When they’re nourished, they thrive.”

Kroger anticipates a ribbon-cutting to open the new store in mid-2026.
