  Kroger has good store brand products.
  
  The company has tried to compensate for their high prices with good store brand products.  Their soda and their ice cream sandwiches are quite good and keep me going to their stores.
  
  They've been carrying Turkey Hill tea and ice cream, which are both quite tasty and come in several varieties.
  
  I can count on them for Progresso soup, as they seem to have all of the varieties.
  
  I'm constantly surprised about the organic section.  It's quite large, though not as big as a health food store itself (see Jungle Jim's for that) and has quite a variety including some brands which seem to be Kroger only.
  
  I'm less enthusiastic about the deli and bakery.  The deli cuts meat ahead of time, so they have a lot of meat, sliced, in the case, drying out.  I don't find their store brand label all that good there anyway.  What I wouldn't give for some Dietz & Watson meat around this area.  Is there a bakery on site?  It doesn't seem to be.
  
  Remember to shop sales.  It's a traditional way to do business in this area and you end up paying a lot more by ignoring the sales.  At least, using their store card gives you an easy way to avoid the old store coupons.

  I often get tired of the lunch options in Richmond and often decide to just run to Kroger and pick up a quick lunch.  I live fairly close to this location, so it is conveniently located.  However, I will not do my weekly grocery shopping here because of the prices.
  
  I think that it is silly that you have to use your Kroger Plus Card to get regularly priced groceries. Sure the receipt says you saved $x.xx but in actuality you're just getting the same price as you would if you shopped at Wal-Mart or Meijer. I find that I usually spend even more here when I do use my card, so I'm convinced that their prices are jacked up even higher. I think the staff are aware that Kroger jacks up their prices as well, because if I ever forget my card, they usually still give you the lower prices.
  
  This location does have friendly service, so I can't rate them too low. I just prefer to do my shopping elsewhere.

  Compared to Krogers in the surrounding Dayton/Cinci area and Indy area, this Kroger is a bit run down and in need of some updates.  It is fairly clean inside, but one can tell this place has seen better days.  The exterior, particularly the parking lot, is in sad shape, but that seems to be par for the course in Richmond.  Shopping centers here generally have shabby parking lot pavement and some pretty sorry-looking store fronts.  As for the grocery aspect, it does have a fair variety of foods at prices higher than Walmart and Meijer, but overall it's an OK store.

  This particular Kroger is really good for finding organic food on sale. They don't always have organic items on sale, but because not too many people buy them (I assume), you can occasionally get things for a steal! Not too long ago they were clearing out overstock of organic peanut and almond butter for $.99 a jar! These items are usually between $4-5 a jar, so I stocked up! I have also bought several other items at half off or more from the organic section. Just be sure to check the dates before you buy things!

  My favorite grocery store in town.  Has all the organic, ethnic, vegetarian, and other specialty items I need!
