Kroger is many things. The pioneer of the on-site bakery. The largest florist in the world. The innovator of product testing. But, perhaps most obviously, Kroger is one of the biggest supermarket chains in the world. Despite not even having locations in all 50 states, Kroger’s grip on the state of the modern grocery store is tight as anything. Today we take a deep dive into the chain that will, frankly, soon own everything. Let’s get started!
Who owns Kroger?
Though it was founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883, Kroger is currently owned by CEO and Chairman Rodney McMullen. McMullen literally started as a stock clerk at a Kentucky Kroger location and worked his way up. I thought that sort of stuff only happened in the movies!
Who is Kroger merging with?
Kroger announced they were soon merging with Albertsons. Since they are the two largest grocery chains in the United States, this is a pretty big deal. A 25 billion dollar deal to be exact! This alliance was devised specifically to make the two stores more competitive with even bigger giants like Costco and Walmart, and is set to be completed by mid 2024. Personally, Albertsons is the grocer nearest to my place, so I use it a lot. I’ll do my best to try not to treat Kroger like a strange new stepdad figure.
What stores does Kroger own?
Kroger owns, among others that we’ll talk about elsewhere in this article, Ralphs, Dillons, King Soopers, Fry’s WFC, City Market, Metro Market, and Pick ‘n Save. Anyone else picturing the Monopoly man right now?
Is Publix owned by Kroger?
Though I’m sure Kroger would love to take ownership of it, and expand their vast grocery empire, Publix is actually an employee owned and operated store, with no intention of selling to Kroger. They remain two separate entities, living to battle each other…like Batman and Joker. (You can pick who’s who.)
Is Safeway Kroger?
Hmmm, well, technically, yes—it will be! That is, if the merger with Albertsons goes off without any problems! Safeway (along with Vons and Pavilions) is owned by Albertsons and if they get hitched, Kroger will also absorb Safeway. Pardon my tearing up, I always cry at weddings.
Is Fred Meyer Kroger?
Ah yes, speaking of weddings! Right you are, the Northwest-based jewelry chain Fred Meyer stores (with locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska) joined forces with Kroger in 1998. However, the stores still bear the Fred Meyer name. Good for ol’ Fred sticking to his guns and keeping his name.
Where is Kroger?
According to their website, Kroger has 1,237 stores across 16 states. So, if you happen to live in or are visiting (huge deep breath) Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, or West Virginia…well, then enjoy those classic Kroger everyday low prices! If you don’t live in those states, well, I’m sure we’ll write an article on your grocery store soon. We’ve got a lot of stuff to get to, here!
As you can see, Kroger is not only a grocery store chain, but it’s also a budding business empire. With so many mergers and absorptions in their wake, I wouldn’t be surprised if they soon bought my apartment building…which I suppose I wouldn’t mind too much, so long as I got to put my room in the cereal aisle. You know, for easy-access.

Before 5 am a number I estimate more than five less than ten had left their positions to go where every they go and it’s concerning to me because I know what they are and and I know what they do

Every place else was a hotel and even there I viated mist the same
This is the enviornment they strive to box me in where this morning there was one in the front parking lot and teo in the opposite side

Wow wish you could hear the tome these predators have and blatently with. O cloth outright are pissed because not o ly do they watch me with their cameras that I’ve discovered but they are readi g each letter by letter I type. This is what they forcibly have done for two years I’ve not cob ented to any of this it began when the owner of OCEAN Blue Apartments requested me to report this very group to the police. Now I k ow why he asked me to what he should have done himself. Thank you elon
The reason why they are comfortable to do this publicly is because at night they enter the buildings and destroy the evidence of the cctv where ever it’s at. That’s what happened at Ocean Blue Apartments. This group have associates with all security company on Guam iys that wretched
It’s possible if you are able to tap I to the feeds of any ctv in my immediate vacinity and you will see and hear yourself
They use fear to control bit on .e that motivates me to press on
They shot my Boy twice and that’s the level these heathens are at. The bottom of the pit only evil does what these people do and find pleasure in . It’s disgusting to know so many have just allowed to happen to me. Would they appreciate it on them at least my turn will ve ending and theirs will begin
AYea they didn’t LIJE that last message and I could card less. Once these I dividuals are out if range of sight will v be the last time I ever have anything to do with them and I ill not spendnansecondnan a thought ever again of them

Very superb info can be found on blog.
Very incomplete and misleading “article”. E,g,, FredMeyer is not JUST a jewelry store; Kroger operates in most states through the 20+ chains of supermarkets they’ve absorbed….etc….
