KR) announced today it has added its Prep+Pared Meal Kits to
four new divisions: Central, Columbus, Fry's and Nashville, joining Cincinnati, Louisville and Ralphs.
"Prep+Pared Meal Kits are a growing part of Kroger's Our
Brands portfolio. As we focus on redefining the grocery
customer experience, as outlined in our Restock
Kroger plan, we will rapidly grow the footprint of
Prep+Pared Meal Kits in 2018," said Robert
Clark, Kroger's senior vice president of merchandising.
"Since introducing Prep+Pared Meal Kits earlier this year, our
customers have responded favorably to having a convenient solution
that makes dinner easy."
Prep+Pared Meal Kit ingredients are fresh, seasonal, prepped and
measured to precisely provide customers with only what is needed
for each recipe so there is no waste. Cooking time for each meal
kit is about 20 minutes. Prep+Pared Meal Kits feed two adults and
range in price from $14 to
$20, and there is no required
subscription. Prep+Pared Meal Kits are available for purchase in
stores and through ClickList.
Current recipes customers can enjoy—developed by Kroger's

Chicken with Broccolini Radish and Wheatberry, Shrimp Scampi with
Lemon Garlic Fettuccini, and Carne
