In 1883, Barney Kroger, with only $372, opened a grocery store in downtown Cincinnati. More than 120 years later, as the supermarket business has evolved into a variety of formats aimed at satisfying the ever-changing needs of shoppers, Kroger has grown to over 2,500 stores in 31 states under two-dozen banners and annual sales of more than $66 billion. Today, Kroger ranks as one of the nation s largest retailers. Kroger has pioneered many innovations in the supermarket industry. During the 1930s, it was the first grocery chain to monitor product quality and test foods. In 1972, Kroger became the first grocery retailer in America to test an electronic scanner. It was installed in a store in suburban Cincinnati. Technology plays an important role in Kroger s store operations, with more than 1,600 Kroger stores offering self-checkout. Kroger spans many states with store formats that include grocery and multidepartment stores, convenience stores and mall jewelry stores. Among the brands it operates are Fred Meyer, Ralph s, Fry s, Baker s, Food4Less, KwikStop and Tom Thumb. Kroger is headquartered in Cincinnati, and maintains various locations in Houston.
YOU'D BETTER BE PREPARED TO WAIT IN LONG LINES WITH ONLY 1 OR 2 CASHIERS EVEN DURING RUSH TIME! THEY WILL ONLY HAVE 2 CASHIERS , OH YES THEN OF COURSE THE SELF CHECKOUT LANES WHICH THEY TRY TO PUSH. IF I'M CHECKING MYSELF OUT THEN NEED TO LOWER THEIR PRICES WITHOUT THAT STUPID CARD THAT DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. THEY NEED TO GIVE CLIENTS MORE INCENTIVE TO SHOP THERE OTHER THAN SAVING 10 CENTS PER GALLON OF GAS WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A GAS STATION ON THEIR PREMISES. THEY KEEP THE STORE TOO WARM; I SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE WAITING IN LINE. THE SACKERS ARE ALL TO EAGER TO TAKE YOUR GROCERIES OUT FOR YOU OR YOU'LL SEE THEM OUTSIDE COLLECTING THE SHOPPING CARTS (SO THEY AREN'T INSDE HELPING OUT THE CASHIERS). THEIR OUTSIDE PARKING LOT LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING ON MY LAST VISIT 10/05/09 LEAVING CUSTOMERS IN THE DARK HOPING TO GET TO THEIR VEHICLES TO UNLOAD GROCERIES SAFELY.
WHEN TRYING TO RETURN ANYTHING IS SOMETHING ELSE. THE MANAGER MADE A REMARK ABOUT LOSING MONEY HAVING TO CREDIT ME FOR SOMETHING PURCHASED AT ANOTHER KROGER STORE. I TOLD HIM MY FRIEND HAD PICKED IT UP FOR ME ($ IS TIGHT NOW) ; BUT NEEDED TO RETURN IT FOR IT WASN'T THE ACTUAL PRODUCT THAT I NEEDED. HE MADE IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS SUCH AN IMPOSITION TO HIM.
