The company will host a job fair May 20 in all of its stores in the Nashville Kroger Division, which includes North Alabama, Middle and East Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

Kroger spokeswoman Melissa Eads said there will be a number of part- and full-time positions at every store in the Nashville division.

"Positions are available in most every department including Front End, Deli, Meat, and Grocery," she said. "Some stores also have positions available in support of our online ordering service, Clicklist."

Prospective workers should apply on jobs.kroger.com before attending the hiring event, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Kroger Family of Companies employs 443,000 associates in 2,796 retail food stores under different banner names in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Eads said Kroger last year increased its workforce by more than 12,000 and expects to add 10,000 associates in 2017.
