Kroger Fulfillment Center

Kroger’s new automated fulfillment centers used advanced robotics to enhance home grocery delivery. Providence was the lead design firm and project manager for this facility.

The project involved renovating a 370,000 SF warehouse, adding a 320,000 SF warehouse, and 140,000 SF of mezzanine and office space.

Of the new warehouse, 175,000 SF was cooled to 34°F for refrigerated foods, 26,000 SF was a freezer, and 140,000 SF was air-conditioned for dry storage. The new warehouse was constructed using insulated metal wall panels and a single ply roof membrane over rigid insulation and metal deck. The roof framing consisted of conventional steel joists and joist girders.

The existing warehouse was renovated to remain dry storage with a conventional racking system.

Serving the Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia regions, this site served as a key hub in Kroger’s reimagined “grocery experience” for the mid-Atlantic.
