Kroger Alden Bridge Customer and Associate Safety

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Kroger has been made aware that a number of residents at a care home located near our Kroger Alden Bridge location at 8000 Research Forest Dr. have tested positive for COVID-19.

We are not aware of any of the patients having visited our store location, however upon learning of the cases, we have taken proactive action to increase sanitation and cleaning procedures in all areas of the store on a daily basis. This is in addition to our enhanced daily sanitation practices, including cleaning commonly used areas more often like cashier stations, self checkouts, credit card terminals, food service counters and shelves as well as sanitizing our shopping carts. We will continue to follow guidance from local, state and federal agencies, including the CDC and other health organizations.

To ensure the safety of our customers and associates, we have installed plexiglass partitions at many cash registers, to further promote physical distancing. We have also installed educational floor decals to promote physical distancing at checklanes and other counters.

Additionally, we’ve adjusted store operating hours to allow more time for our associates to rest, clean and replenish inventory.

Safety is one of our core values and protecting the health and wellbeing of our associates and customers is our top priority.

We believe all these steps will help to ensure the safety of our associates and help our

communities to flatten the curve while at the same time meeting our obligation to be there for our customers.

Customers can also take advantage of online grocery ordering and curbside pickup through our Kroger Pickup service, online at kroger.com and on our app.
