CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 22, 2010 – The
Kroger Co. has unveiled its all-new
digital coupon center, available on
its website at www.kroger.com/digitalcoupons.
The coupon center is an industry-leading
combination of manufacturer, Kroger brand
and web-only exclusive coupons, all located
in one online center. Customers can easily
load offers directly onto their Kroger Plus
Card or loyalty cards for other stores Kroger
operates including City Market, Dillons, Fred Meyer,
Fry’s, Jay C, King Soopers, QFC, Ralphs and Smith’s.
TOffers include coupons for popular
brands such as Kroger Deluxe Ice Cream,
Betty Crocker®, Tide® and Raisin Bran®,
among others, from companies such as
General Mills, Procter & Gamble and
Kellogg’s. The site also features
great offers for Kroger Private Selection
and other Kroger brand products. More
than 100 digital coupons are currently
available and can be accessed through
www.kroger.com/digitalcoupons, the
Kroger.com homepage, or the respective
websites of each of its family of stores.
“This new digital coupon center makes it
even easier for our customers to save money,”
said Evan Anthony, vice president of corporate
marketing and advertising for Kroger. “Our
customers asked to make online coupons
easier for them to use and we listened. The
time and money they can save is just the
latest way Kroger delivers more value to
its customers.”
To access the site, customers should visit
www.kroger.com/digitalcoupons, where they
will be asked to link their Kroger Plus Card
information to their Kroger.com account. After
doing so, shoppers can select as many offers as
they’d like – up to 150 coupons – then click the
“Load Coupons to Card” option to digitally “clip”
each coupon and add them directly to their Kroger
Plus Card. Coupons will be available one hour after
they are loaded onto a customer’s card. Each digital
coupon loaded to the site is subject to an expiration
date, generally within six weeks of being loaded to
the digital coupon center.
Andrea Deckard, a blogger at www.MommySnacks.net
who shares her money-saving tips with readers,
said: “The Kroger digital coupon center is
a virtual one-stop savings hub. The digital
coupon site is easy to use and makes it easier
to save. There are so many brands offered,
but I’m also happy to see coupons available
for Kroger items as well. I particularly
like the ability to sort by category, too.
I can quickly search ‘Frozen Foods’ to see if
a digital coupon is available for a brand that’s
on sale, click to load to my Kroger Plus Card
and wait for the discount at checkout.”
In addition to its new-and-improved
digital coupon center, Kroger provides
a number of online services to help
customers save money and add value
to their lives. Earlier this summer,
Kroger launched its Summer of Savings
program. Also available from Kroger’s
homepage, www.kroger.com, the program
includes an instant-win sweepstakes
and special summer-themed coupons for
customers.
Kroger, the nation’s largest
traditional grocery retailer,
employs more than 334,000 associates
who serve customers in 2,470
supermarkets and multi-department
stores in 31 states under two dozen
local banner names including Kroger,

Less, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, King
Soopers, QFC, Ralphs and Smith’s.
