ATHENS, Ga. — A Kroger grocery store in Georgia is getting national attention for the store’s explanation of its unisex bathroom.

The store has a gender-neutral bathroom, along with a sign informing customers of why the restroom is available:

We have a UNISEX bathroom because sometimes gender specific toilets put others into uncomfortable situations. And since we have a lot of friends coming to see us, we want provide a place for our friends who are:

    • Dads with daughters
    • Moms with sons
    • Parents with disabled children
    • Those in the LGBTQ community
    • Adults with aging parents who may be mentally or physically disabled

THANK YOU for helping us to provide a safe environment for EVERYONE!
