Kroger is banned where I live. They can't open a store here. You would have to drive at least 30 miles to find one. Some locals make a weekly or monthly trip to the one in Dalton, GA.

Why were they banned?

They made a deal with a local chain to buy them out. Part of the deal was they couldn't come back so it's a Kroger black hole here in Gig City. Yup. I can get a gig fiber connection for $67.00 a month but can't pop over to go Krogering.
