Why will Kroger close its stores?
The company estimates that this measure will generate a moderate financial benefit. The closures will affect locations that, according to Kroger, were not profitable. However, the company assured that all employees from the affected stores will be offered positions at other locations.
Kroger also emphasized that the savings generated from this restructuring will be reinvested in initiatives aimed at improving the customer experience. Additionally, the chain reaffirmed its commitment to invest between $3.6 and $3.8 billion this year in capital expenditures, including the construction of new stores as well as the expansion and renovation of existing ones.
The History of Kroger
Kroger’s story began in 1883, when Barney Kroger invested his life savings—$372—to open a small grocery store at 66 Pearl Street in downtown Cincinnati. His guiding principle was simple and honest: “Be particular. Never sell anything you wouldn’t want yourself.”
Nearly 140 years later, that same philosophy continues to shape every part of the business. Kroger remains committed to quality, innovation, and serving the communities it calls home—all while investing in the people who bring the brand to life every day.
How many Kroger stores are there in the U.S.?
Kroger is one of the largest supermarket chains in the United States, with a network of more than 2,700 stores operating under well-known banners such as Fred Meyer, Ralphs, and King Soopers. Its locations span 35 states and the District of Columbia, with a strong presence in the South, Midwest, and West.
As of June 2025, the company operated 2,719 grocery retail stores under its various divisions. Kroger has solidified its role as a major player in the sector, serving millions of customers with a wide range of products and services.
