Kroger was the leading supermarket in the United States in 2022, by a wide margin. It had nearly double the retail sales of the next chain, Albertsons. Founded in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio (where it is still headquartered), by Bernard Kroger, The Kroger Co. has become the largest supermarket chain in the United States and the one of the largest overall retailers, behind the retailing giant, Walmart.
Another aspect that may contribute to Kroger’s success is the fact that it is more than just a grocery store. In 2022, the company had revenues of over 13 billion dollars from filling prescriptions in its pharmacies. Some of Kroger’s locations also include fuel stations. Revenue from its fuel segment exceeded 18.6 billion dollars in the same year.
