Operations Overview
Food stores are our primary business and account for approximately 94% of total company sales. Our convenience and
jewelry stores and manufacturing facilities contribute the remainder of total sales. The information below is
current as of November 5, 2011.
-
We operate 2,439 grocery retail stores in 31 states under nearly
two dozen banners. Our formats include supermarkets, price-impact warehouse stores, and multi-department
stores, which are similar to supercenters, but offer an expanded variety of national brand appeal and general
merchandise.
-
Kroger also operates 796 convenience stores under six banners in
18 states. Our C-stores provide valuable synergies for the rapid expansion of our supermarket fuel centers.
-
363 fine jewelry stores under names like Fred Meyer Jewelers, Littman
Jewelers, Barclay Jewelers, and Fox's Jewelers. This is a high-margin business with good cash flow.
-
Kroger is the only major U.S. supermarket company to operate an economical three-tier distribution system.
-
Kroger also operates 40 food processing or manufacturing facilities
producing high quality private-label products that provide value for customers and enhanced margins for Kroger.
-
Kroger operates 1,067 supermarket fuel centers, which are a natural addition to our one-stop-shopping strategy.
-
Kroger's 1,964 pharmacies, located in our combination food and drug stores, provide high quality services at
everyday low prices.
