The Kroger Company, or simply Kroger, is an American retail company that operates (either directly or through its subsidiaries[5]) supermarkets and multi-department stores throughout the United States.[1][6]

Founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kroger operates 2,719 grocery retail stores under its various banners and divisions in 35 states (mostly in the South, Midwest and West) and the District of Columbia.[6] Its store formats include 134 multi-department stores, 2,273 combo stores, 191 marketplace stores, and 121 price-impact warehouse stores.[1][6] Kroger operates 33 manufacturing plants, 1,642 supermarket fuel centers, 2,254 pharmacies, 225 The Little Clinic in-store medical clinics, and 127 jewelry stores (782 convenience stores were sold to EG Group in 2018).[1][6] Kroger's headquarters are located in downtown Cincinnati.[7]

The Kroger Company is the largest supermarket operator in the U.S. by revenue[8] and the country's fifth-largest general retailer.[9] The company is one of the largest American-owned private employers in the United States.[10][11][12] Additionally, Kroger is ranked No. 25 on the Fortune 500 rankings of the largest U.S. corporations by total revenue.[13] It is frequently listed as being a good dividend stock for investors in 2024.[14]

About two-thirds of Kroger's employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements,[15] with most being represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).[16]
