The Kroger Co. is the largest
retail food company in the United States as measured by total annual sales. We were founded in 1883 by Barney Kroger in Cincinnati, Ohio, where
our headquarters remain today. Our mission is to be a leader in the distribution and
merchandising of food, pharmacy, health and personal care items, seasonal merchandise, and
related products and services. We've
come a long way since Barney's first grocery store. At the end of 1996, Kroger operated 1,356 food stores under seven names across 24 states, and 831 convenience stores under six logos in 15 states. Food
stores are our primary business and account for over 93% of total company sales. Our
convenience stores and 36 manufacturing facilities contribute the remainder of total
sales.
