The Kroger Co. is an American retail corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. It operates (either directly or through its subsidiaries) supermarkets and multi-department stores throughout the United States.
The company was founded by Bernard Kroger in 1883 in Cincinnati. Kroger stores operate under multiple formats, including multi-department stores, supermarket “combo” stores, marketplace stores, and warehouse-style locations. In addition to its retail stores, Kroger operates manufacturing facilities, supermarket fuel centers, pharmacies, and in-store medical clinics. About two-thirds of Kroger's employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements, with most being represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW).
