Kroger operates one of the largest grocery store networks in the U.S., with roughly 2,700 supermarkets under regional banners like Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and King Soopers. It sells groceries, fresh food, pharmacy products, and fuel, with private-label brands (Kroger, Simple Truth) providing higher-margin alternatives to national brands. Customers are everyday U.S. consumers shopping in-store or online via pickup and delivery. Revenue comes primarily from grocery and general merchandise sales, supplemented by fuel stations, in-store pharmacies, and a growing retail media business that sells targeted advertising to CPG brands using its customer purchase data.
