Buckeyes will have a new option for high quality, convenient meals on the go or delivered to their doors when California-based Kitchen United opens three Mix Food Hall locations inside neighborhood Kroger stores in the Columbus, Ohio, area this fall.

Each location will have six or more of the restaurant brands above. Customers have the option to order from their favorite restaurant or mix and match items on one order for pickup or delivery, ultimately allowing individuals and groups to enjoy variety without having to compromise.
“Kitchen United is proud to open its first Mix Food Hall in the Columbus area,” says Kitchen United Chief Executive Officer Michael Montagano. “Families and groups who can’t agree on what to have for lunch or dinner will love the ability to order different foods from different restaurants, all in one order.”
“We are always looking for new and unique ways to help our customers answer the ‘what’s for dinner tonight?’ question,” adds Melissa Stimac, vice president of merchandising Kroger Columbus Division. “The collaboration with Kitchen United is special because customers’ restaurant-quality meal will be crafted while they’re shopping for the fresh food and pantry staples their families need.”
Ordering will be available via on-site digital kiosks, online at MixFoodHall.com, or through the Mix App. While customers can also order from the restaurants housed in Mix Food Hall through various third-party delivery platforms, “multi-restaurant ordering” is only available through the Mix ordering platform.
“With our proprietary, leading-edge technology, Mix Food Hall is revolutionizing the way people order takeout, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce this one-of-a-kind experience to Columbus,” Montagano says. “We’ve secured the perfect locations for us to serve quick, easy meals to local neighborhoods, businesses, and college students who enjoy having delicious options to take home after they get their grocery shopping done.”
These Mix Food Hall locations will be the first three in Ohio and the first collaboration with Kroger in the Midwest. The company will have a total of 17 locations in Arizona, California, Illinois, New York, Ohio, and Texas with the opening of these new food halls.
