Kroger, the country's largest grocer, is adding a clothing section at a Marketplace store in Mansfield, Ohio. According to USA Today, "It's the first time in Kroger's 129-year history that it has offered a dedicated apparel section.

"In order to stay competitive, we have to listen to our customers and change to keep up with demand," said Jackie Siekmann, a spokeswoman for Kroger's Columbus, Ohio-area stores."We understand that we are experts in grocery, and we're not going to lose sight of our core values." Does purchasing clothes from a grocery store interest you?

USATODAY.COM reports:
It's trying to compete with Walmart and Target, which have added groceries.

I think it would just feel weird. When I think of Kroger I don't think of clothing but hey Wal-mart did it and so did Target along with K-Mart.

Yes, I would purchase the clothes but it depend on the quality of the clothes! Some clothes are better then others, meaning quality wise!

Only if they were decent- Target isn't too bad, but clothing at Wal-mart is crap (their gym clothes are okay though).

It's very convenient, particularly when all you are lacking is the occasional new drawers and some bananas for your pie.

As far as I know, some supermarkets, such as Wal-Mart, already do that. So, sure.

Where I live in Montreal,one of the major grocery stores is Loblaws and they carry the Joe Fresh clothing line,which is one of my favorite because it is comprised of well-made,stylish basics at at affordable price and when there is a sale, there is always a great deal to be had.
