The Kroger at Belle Meade will close Jan. 31, according to multiple media reports.
Located at 4560 Harding Pike, the Kroger opened in 1978, with the building from which it operates and an accompanying structure, Belle Meade Plaza Shopping Center, having sold in 2023 to AJ Capital Partners. The site is slated for a redevelopment.
Relatedly, and as Scene sister publication the Nashville Post previously reported, the Kroger is slated to relocate to a nearby building last home to a Harris Teeter grocery store (read here). The Cincinnati-based company seemingly has not announced an opening date for that space.
The future of Belle Meade Plaza rankles a city that cares about the past
The Belle Meade Kroger has operated from its building longer than any other Davidson County Kroger located either west or southwest of downtown Nashville has been at its current structure, according to sources.
The Harris Teeter operated at 4301 Harding Pike and within a building that was part of a redevelopment of the former Belle Meade Theater, undertaken by Nashville-based Giarratana. The grocery store — which did not offer signage or access at Harding Pike — closed in February 2015 after Kroger acquired Harris Teeter in mid-2013 for $2.4 billion.
Kroger seemingly still has a lease for the ex-Harris Teeter space.
WSMV was the first local media entity to report the closing date.
