SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine was in Springfield Monday to celebrate the opening of the area’s new Groceryland store.
The Groceryland store opened on South Limestone Street earlier this month after Kroger shut down it’s store there last year.

Gov. DeWine said, “It’s really clear how important this location is to the south part of Springfield, people who lives in this community. When the Kroger store went out, it was a huge, huge blow so we’re happy to have a store back here.”
One of the store’s co-investors said he wanted to provide fresh and affordable groceries and produce to people living in that area.
When the Kroger store closed, residents expressed concerns about where they would get their food from.
