Profile
Operates local-banner grocery and food-and-drug stores across the United States, and also makes and processes selected food for those stores. Its national-scale footprint was assembled through acquisitions, including Safeway, while the business remains rooted in regional store brands.
Operates a U.S. food-and-drug retail network through local grocery banners, while also manufacturing and processing selected food for its stores. Sales are generated through a national-scale portfolio rather than a single uniform chain.
The modern company was assembled through acquisitions of legacy Albertsons assets, former SUPERVALU banners, United Supermarkets, and Safeway. That acquisition-led formation created national-scale operations while retaining local banners at the customer level. Susan Morris became chief executive after the Kroger merger agreement was terminated. Its workforce has substantial collective-bargaining coverage, and an opioid settlement framework remains subject to participation and other conditions.
