Kroger operates about 2,700 grocery stores across the U.S. under banners like Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, and King Soopers. It sells food, household goods, pharmacy products, and fuel. Customers are everyday consumers shopping in-store or online. Revenue comes primarily from retail grocery sales, with smaller contributions from in-store pharmacies, fuel centers, and a growing advertising/data business that monetizes its shopper data with consumer brands.
