You may recall that the Kroger Store near 116th Street and Allisonville Road was planning to move across Allisonville Road to a shopping center that once housed a Marsh grocery, but Kroger decided to shelve those plans at the time.  Now, a new study indicates Kroger may be willing to move across Allisonville Road after all.

John Tuohy of the Indianapolis Star posted a story on the IndyStar Web site (link here) Friday citing a study by a consultant hired by the city to study development along the Allisonville Road corridor in Fishers (read the entire report here).

The City Council is scheduled to discuss the report at a 6:30pm work session Monday night prior to the regular council session.

Tuohy’s story says any redevelopment recommendation “is contingent on Kroger shutting down its store at 7272 Fishers Crossing Drive and moving across the street to the site of a former Marsh grocery at Fishers Station.”  The report says Kroger has notified the city of its intention to move.

If Kroger moves, the current location could be transformed into a gathering place for the local community, according to this study.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness told reporter Tuohy the report is part of a longer term vision.

“We asked HWC to put different options out there,” he said. “But we would have to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Nothing is imminent on that end,” the mayor told the Star.
