Dolphin Drive store,” said Tim McGurk, Kroger public affairs manager for the Louisville Division. “Our current store is sim-ply too small to provide all of the products and services that our custom-ers demand.”

According to McGurk, part of those demands are more fresh foods.

“This expansion will place a priority on all of the fresh departments — produce, meat, deli, organics and natural foods,” he said. “The variety in all of these fast-growing areas of our business will significantly expand.”

The expansion also will add eight self-check-out lanes and two tradi-tional lanes, McGurk said.

“Other departments and services that will be added include a Little Clinic, a Starbucks coffee shop, a salad bar, a fresh seafood department, a kitchen place department and an expanded cheese shop,” he said.

The liquor store, which once was part of the shopping center, was relocated to an out lot on the site in November.

A gas station also is on an out lot at the site.

The company pur-chased a majority of the shopping center from Dolltown LLC. of Louisville, according to a deed filed with the city of Elizabethtown.

A permit for construc-tion was filed Nov. 13 with an expected cost of $5.7 million for the ex-pansion, Poppe said.

The store will remain open during the expan-sion and renovation, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015,

McGurk said.“During the construc-

tion, we will do every-thing possible to mini-mize the inconvenience to our shoppers,” he said. “When completed, the facility will be nearly

80,000-square feet and it will allow us to offer the best grocery shopping experience available.”

2 states challenge Colorado marijuana

legalizationBy GRANT SCHULTE

Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska and Oklahoma on Thursday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare Colorado’s legalization of marijuana un-constitutional, saying the drug is being brought from Colorado into the neighboring states.

Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said the states filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to prevent Colorado from enforcing the measure known as Amendment 64, which was approved by voters in 2012. The complaint says the mea-sure runs afoul of federal law and therefore vio-lates the Constitution’s supremacy clause, which says federal laws trump state laws.

“This contraband has been heavily trafficked into our state,” Bruning said at a news conference in Lincoln. “While Colorado reaps millions from the sale of pot, Nebraska taxpayers have to bear the cost.”

In a policy statement last year, the U.S. Justice Department noted it doesn’t have the resources to police all violations of federal marijuana law. It laid out eight federal law enforcement priorities that states need to protect if they want to authorize “marijuana-related conduct.” They include keeping marijuana in-state — something Oklahoma and Nebraska say Colorado has failed to do.

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said Colorado’s decision has hindered his state’s ef-forts to enforce its anti-marijuana laws.

“As the state’s chief legal officer, the attorney general’s office is taking this step to protect the health and safety of Oklahomans,” Pruitt said in a statement.

Washington state also has legalized marijuana, but Bruning said Washington wasn’t included in the lawsuit because it doesn’t share a border with Nebraska or Oklahoma.
