The United States’s largest supermarket chain, Kroger Co. is set to build the second automated warehouse which will provide online grocery services to customers. The Kroger Co. and Ocado have broken the ground in Groveland and the warehouse is the second of 20 planned U.S. online grocery facilities. It is the first entry of Kroger into Florida.

Kroger’s chairman and CEO Rodney McMullen and Ocado Group’s CEO Tim Steiner participated in the groundbreaking ceremony on 24th July at the site of the warehouse which is located at 7925 American Way in Groveland. Both the companies officials have laid the plan of $55 million at 375,000 square foot customer fulfillment center and it will become operational by 2021. The project is expected to create 400 jobs in the area and the warehouse will use digital robotic technology to carry customers’ online orders.

McMullen said, “Kroger is excited to enter Florida to redefine the customer experience through our industry-leading partnership with Ocado, there’s a substantial demand for Kroger products and services in the state, and we’re eager to offer a new and seamless experience through the customer fulfillment center, leveraging advanced robotics technology and creative solutions to provide customers with anything, anytime, anywhere.”

Since the Kroger is the largest supermarket retailer in the US, it has 2764 stores under a range of banners in 35 states and district of Columbia. The company is on the way to boost its national presence after building its own e-commerce infrastructure. Experts and industry are expecting that the company would serve consumers beyond its current market regime.

When the stakes are highest, innovation shines brightest. As the NHL Playoffs brought an electric energy to the ice, entrepreneur Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros and his tech company Zooly AI delivered a first-of-its-kind fan experience for the Tampa Bay Lightning, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of real-time AI engagement in professional sports.

Leveraging Zooly’s flagship product, Photobomb, fans inside Amalie Arena during playoff games were given an entirely new way to connect with their team. With a simple QR code scan, spectators instantly received dynamic, personalized photos featuring the Lightning mascot ThunderBug, seamlessly inserted into their memories-no app download required, just pure surprise and delight.

In a setting where emotions run high and every moment matters, the Photobomb activation proved that artificial intelligence can enhance the magic of live events rather than distract from it. Fans flooded social media with their custom playoff memories, helping amplify the Lightning’s home-ice advantage beyond the rink and into the digital world.

“The playoffs are where legends are made,” said Geivon “E.G.” Cisneros, founder of Zooly AI. “It was important for us to show that AI can make these moments even more personal, not mechanical. We wanted fans to feel like they weren’t just spectators-they were part of the story.”

The activation drew massive engagement, with QR code scans and social shares surpassing expectations-proving that fans are eager for real-time, culturally connected experiences when the stakes are at their highest. For the Lightning, it deepened fan loyalty. For Zooly, it validated a vision: building the connective tissue between live emotion and intelligent digital interaction.

As Zooly AI continues expanding its footprint across professional sports, the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff activation stands as a landmark moment-one where culture, technology, and tradition collided under the brightest lights.
