The Kroger store at 116th Street and Cumberland Road held the grand opening for the newly-remodeled grocery, and the company opened its checkbook to support area charities.

Kroger Public Affairs Manager Eric Halvorson handled the Master of Ceremony duties at the event, as local store workers and city officials took to the podium.

But the important part of the festivities centered on checks handed out to local groups doing good things in the area.
