Grocery stores prepare for more shoppers amidst another winter storm

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- In preparation for the second round of a winter storm arriving in Bowling Green on Thursday, residents are hitting local grocery stores to stock up on food and supplies. 

The shelves at Kroger and Walmart have taken a hit as people prepare for the snow. 

Melissa Eads with Kroger says that the items that seem to go the fastest are bread, milk and eggs. Eads said this past weekend, they saw a lot of people buying food at their store and are expecting the same pattern to happen tonight. 

They had enough time Tuesday and Wednesday to restock items, but Eads says there is still a possibility they could run out of items. 

“Our stores are facing issues that everybody would assume we are with trucks just being able to get to us. You know our vendors having staff to help work and load trucks and drive trucks and on our end making sure we can get our people in to help with the stores and get that product on the shelves. But we do feel like we’ve recovered well and are ready for this second round,” said Eads. 

Kroger did close early on Tuesday night. Eads said they are expecting to be open throughout the conditions the rest this week if possible.
