Kroger has announced the opening of their new automated distribution center in Riverside, California, which will supply fresh produce products to over 150 Ralph's and Food 4 Less stores throughout Southern California. Suppliers will begin stocking the new facility this week, and Kroger plans to have a full line of product by March 5th. The Riverside center will work in concert with Kroger's Compton distribution center, which will remain operating as normal with fewer stores.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
