Right as I was doing my weekly shopping at Kroger in Marietta off Shallowford Road, in walked Atlanta Division President Bruce A. Lucia and his entourage. Lucia is touring stores and meeting customers and associates this week, making sure stores are ready for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Lucia posed for a picture and gave me a $3 coupon! How lucky is that! "Here's a coupon just for taking a picture with me," he said.
Lucia joined Kroger in 1975 as a clerk in Atlanta. Before coming back to Atlanta in 2000 as division president, Lucia served as president of Kroger's Columbus (OH) division which operates 108 Kroger stores in Ohio and West Virginia. Kroger's Atlanta division operates 164 stores in Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kroger is the nation's largest retail grocery chain. It prides itself on weekly specials, manager's specials, and customer points used for fuel savings.

Thanks for your comments. I have forwarded your concerns to Mr. Lucia, Human Resources, and the PR dept. Hope you get this matter resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Bruce lucia sleep well @ night knowing his employees can't afford 2 buy food,& live pay check 2 pay check 7.25 hr bullshit nickle raise bullshit u come around visiting stores and most all employees can't stand u.most kroger employees have 2 get food stamps 2 eat,shame on kroger.god will b ur ultimate judge.
ReplyDeleteYou're ridiculous. You must have been an employee at some time that does the bare minimum and wants everything just handed to them. Mr Lucia is an AMAZING man and President. He cares for every Kroger employee.
DeleteKroger has not upgraded in Atlanta.Competition has eroded the store count in metro Atlanta.

I actually got on the computer to research if another President had replaced Bruce Lucia. I met Mr. Lucia several times as he toured the Kroger stores. Although I live in Grayson I met him a couple of times while shopping at the Kroger at Rockbridge and Five Forks Trickum. He was always very kind and went out of his way to make customers feel special. I absolutely loved that fact that he made it a priority to always open more lanes so that customers did not have to experience long wait times. I am so sad to see he retired but I knew there had to be a change because I almost hate shopping at my Loganville location. I love the staff but they are comparable to Wal Mart with their sense of urgency. There is usually one cashier and the self check out lanes only. I have noticed this at serval of the Kroger locations. Kroger used to be one of my favorite stores because I loved the fact that they placed value on the customer's time. HIs presence is definitely missed.
