CINCINNATI, OH - Health and wellness are taking the spotlight through Kroger's latest strategy, as the grocer has announced the return of its Kroger Wellness Festival presented by PepsiCo featuring Gatorade. On September 22–23 in Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, the free festival will celebrate physical, mental, and emotional health with a focus on six core pillars of transformation: balance, move, breathe, care, uplift, and play.
"At Kroger, we believe in the power of Food as Medicine and are committed to helping people live healthier lives in the communities that we serve," said Colleen Lindholz, President of Kroger Health.
