The construction of Newport News' first Kroger grocery store has been indefinitely postponed as the company reconsiders all of its future capital projects.
The following statement was issued by Kroger Wednesday in response to questions about when the store at Oriana Road and Warwick Boulevard, which was already delayed more than a year, might open:
"Kroger is re-evaluating all future major capital projects and all company projects are being re-prioritized based on that evaluation. This is an ongoing process, and the Newport News Kroger has been delayed as a part of that process. At this time, we do not know the timeline for this store."
