A full-page Kroger advertisement in the Nov. 4, 1957, Lexington Leader. At that time, Lexington had five Kroger stores. Today there are nine Kroger stores in the Lexington area. The ad says the Lexington stores closed at 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Friday and Saturday they closed later. Some of the items advertised are Beanee Weenees, 21 cents for an eight-ounce can; 19 cents for a stalk of celery; and two loaves of bread for 37 cents. Click on the image for a closer look.
