Closing DC in Livonia Michigan [Kroger]

"February 26, 2008
Dear Valued EDI Supplier,

Kroger EDI Communication: ISA Qualifier 08 - ISA ID 9254110060 - GS ID 5137624388.

Subject: Michigan KMA closing it’s Distribution Center in Livonia Michigan

The Kroger Co. announced on Jan. 24,2008 that it will allow its service agreement with SuperValu’s ALM facility in Livonia, Michigan to expire in early 2008. Kroger will shift responsibility for servicing its Michigan stores’ grocery product needs to a modern facility Kroger operates in Delaware, Ohio by the end of March 2008. Kroger had previously moved the sourcing of selected products for its Michigan stores to the Delaware facility more than a year ago.

Kroger's state-of-the-art distribution facility in Delaware allows Kroger to better serve stores and customers because of the increased capability and efficiency it offers. In addition, with the expanded number of products serviced from Delaware, the facility allows Kroger to better utilize multiple-temperature trailers, which can carry a mix of refrigerated, frozen and room temperature grocery items on a single truck. Kroger uses these specially designed trailers to help reduce the amount of fuel and energy the company uses to transport products to stores.

Effective March 31, 2008 your company will no longer be receiving EDI transactions (Warehouse PO’s and or 852’s) for the Michigan KMA under the duns listed below:
Division Duns N104 +Suffix SHIP TO NAME address City State Zip
Michigan 108425984 1801 Advantage Logistics MI / Kroger 12701 Middlebelt Rd Livonia MI 48150
Michigan 108425984 1802 Advantage Logistics MI / Storage 12701 Middlebelt Rd Livonia MI 48150

Michigan 108425984 1806 Norquick Freezer 8440 Haggerty Rd N Canton MI 48187

In turn, March 31, 2008 your company will begin receiving EDI transactions (PO’s and or 852’s) for the Michigan KMA under the Columbus duns listed below. Please make the necessary application changes within your system as well as a data attribute changes for Michigan to assure no disruptions
Division Duns Suffix SHIP TO NAME Address City St Zip
