Crossroads of the City

The Kroc Center is currently under construction on 15 acres at the Mid-South Fairgrounds, just south of Central on East Parkway. In August 2007, The Salvation Army of Memphis purchased the land with $1.6 million in outside funds from the Kroc estate. The highly-visible and easily-accessible location represents the crossroads of neighborhoods that help define the character of the city, and will engage Memphians in nearby communities from Central Gardens to Orange Mound, from Beltline to Binghampton and from Chickasaw Gardens to Cooper-Young.
