The local holiday countdown officially began Monday with the carving of a 150-pound cheese Santa Claus at the Kroger on St. Joe Center Road.

Kroger is investing about $100 million over five years in the Fort Wayne market to replace and upgrade stores.

The company also owns and operates stores under the Scott’s Food and Pharmacy banner.
