PFCA helps end scourge of
illegal truck parking at old kroger site

While it took nearly a year, the PFCA prevailed in getting an effective solution by working cooperatively with the City of Marietta and the owner of the property, where the old Kroger was located.

The problem
18-wheelers parking illegally on the property, day and night
There were multiple issues that led up to this situation, but ultimately, when Kroger moved down the street, the once bustling 4.7-acre property became 4.7 acres of empty asphalt. Faster than you can say “Found me a nap trap,” 18-wheelers turned it into an illegal parking lot, all day and all night, and all despite “NO TRUCK PARKING” signs with towing warnings. Area businesses also had increased vagrancy issues. The first barriers put up by the property owner were run over. Getting the trucks towed was like playing whack-a-mole.

The solution
Working with the City of Marietta and the property owner
The PFCA leadership team met with Marietta City Manager Bill Bruton and the head of Marietta’s Code Enforcement Division, Rusty Roth. Thanks to good suggestions, good communications, and good follow through by the property owner in getting stronger barriers, the problem has been solved. A City of Marietta Code Enforcement officer now does a weekly check of the site, and we're keeping an eye on it.

As of early March, 2025, the property remains for sale. Read more on our page about the old Kroger site.
