CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Kroger plans to bring its new Marketplace concept to Clarksville – a much-larger grocery designed to compete with Target and Walmart.

The planned Kroger Marketplace, proposed for the corner of Tiny Town Road and Needmore Road, will be 123,000 square feet, according to a filing with the Regional Planning Commission.

That’s about 50,000 square feet larger than a typical Kroger grocery, and about three-quarters the size of a Walmart Supercenter, according to Business Insider. Typical Kroger Marketplace stores feature expanded groceries along with clothing, appliances, home goods, furniture, electronics, toys and jewelry. They also include in-store dining and coffee shops.

Kroger spokesperson Lauren Bell confirmed the news to Clarksville Now and said the site will include a fuel center.

The 14.67-acre site is next to Goodwill on the southeast corner of the intersection. Bell said the site plans will be reviewed by the RPC this upcoming Tuesday, Oct. 24. If all things go according to plan, Kroger expects construction to begin early next year, with an opening sometime in 2025.

Clarksville already has three standard Kroger grocery stores, at 1489 Madison St., 110 Dover Crossing Road and 2100 Lowes Drive.
