Aerial photo of the new Kroger and apartments in the Beaumont Farm development at Harrodsburg and New Circle roads in Lexington on March 6, 2000. The 63,000-square-foot Kroger anchored the new shopping center, which covered a total of 250,000 square feet on more than 30 acres of land. Neighbors in the Harrods Hill subdivision originally objected to the plan, which had called for an unnamed 123,000-square-foot store next to Kroger. After meeting with neighbors, the size of the store was reduced to 50,000 square feet. Years later, the Kroger expanded to what it is now, a 125,000-square-foot MarketPlace store.
