Kroger, Ocado break ground on nation’s first high-tech customer fulfillment center
Kroger's first CFC – a 335,000-square-foot automated warehouse facility with digital and robotic capabilities, also known as a shed – is being constructed in Monroe, Ohio.
The Kroger Co., Cincinnati, and Ocado, UK, broke ground on what is said to be the nation’s first customer fulfillment center (CFC).
"Kroger is incredibly excited to reach this meaningful milestone in our Restock Kroger vision to serve America through food inspiration and uplift," says Rodney McMullen, Kroger's chairman and CEO. “Our partnership with Ocado will introduce transformative ecommerce, fulfillment and logistics technology in the U.S. and bring customers fresher food faster than ever before, accelerating our ability to provide anything, anytime, anywhere."
