National grocer, after Tampa debut, plots expansion to other parts of Florida

The Kroger Co., which only recently began delivering groceries in several Florida cities, including Tampa, now plans to expand into the biggest metro region in the state: Miami. 

Andrea Colby, e-commerce corporate affairs and communications manager for Florida, says that “at this time we do not have a start date.” But several employees at Kroger’s new 375,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Groveland, Lake County, say they’ve been told the center is getting ready to begin delivery service in Miami later this year.
