Kroger stores in the Columbus area have recently implemented new security measures to enhance safety and security for both customers and associates. These measures include requiring receipt checks for shoppers, as well as restrictions on certain items that can be brought into the store.
A Kroger representative stated that safety is a core value of the company, and that the decision to implement these added safety measures was made in response to increased incidents of theft at six Columbus-area stores. The representative also mentioned that they have received positive feedback from both associates and customers regarding these changes.
Customers at these selected locations will be asked to show their receipts before leaving the store, and signs are placed at the entrance of each store indicating that Kroger has the right to search bags if deemed necessary. In addition, shoppers are not allowed to bring in suitcases, duffel bags, or roller bags.
The stores where these changes have been put into effect include Brewers Yard at 150 W Sycamore St, Bexley at 2000 E Main St, Great Southern at 3637 S High St, Northland Village at 1745 Morse Rd, Short North at 1350 N High St, and 3600 Soldano Blvd. Kroger has not disclosed any other security measures that are being taken, but it is apparent that they are taking steps to ensure a safe shopping experience for all customers.
Overall, these new security measures demonstrate Kroger’s commitment to maintaining a safe environment for its customers and associates. By implementing these changes, Kroger is taking proactive steps to prevent theft and enhance overall security in its Columbus-area stores.
