Kroger commenced construction on the 12,000-square-foot, LEED-designed center in March 2017.
Kroger, Cincinnati, opened its Culinary Innovation Center in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.
"Kroger's new Culinary Innovation Center is an exciting state-of-the-art test kitchen and education center," says Daniel Hammer, vice president of culinary development and new business. "As we focus on redefining the customer experience and developing talent through food inspiration and uplift, as outlined in Restock Kroger, this R&D lab will allow us to accelerate product development for Our Brands, produce new recipes for Prep + Pared meal kits, explore new restaurant concepts, host food tastings and focus groups and increase our associates' culinary knowledge."
