Store appearances and schedule
The pair visited the Glenwood Kroger at 800 Glenwood Avenue Southeast. They will appear this afternoon at the Terrell Mill Kroger, 1310 Powers Ferry Road in Marietta.
Fans can meet them and get autographs during the scheduled window. Product samples will be available for shoppers.

Heritage behind the starter
Patrick Duffy says his mother received the starter decades ago. He traces it back to a starter passed down by Alaska Gold Rush-era bakers.
Charitable pledge and local partnership
The founders pledge 100% of profits to hunger relief efforts. Kroger will also make a donation to Meals on Wheels Atlanta during the in-store event.
The effort illustrates a larger theme: TV Stars Partner with Bread Company to Fight Hunger.
