Oak Forest Shopping Center — Local services in Houston

This has been my go-to Kroger location since I moved to the area about 5 years ago and had come accustomed to having pretty good experiences. I've noticed a slight change in the overall feel of the store in the past month or so.

Please remodel and make this place more efficient! More people have moved in and there simply is not enough drive space for pedestrians who are walking with carts and cars and trucks trying to pull in and...
