Sourcing for America
With 2,800 retail stores, 35 manufacturing plants and 44 distribution centers across the country, Kroger has learned and continues to learn a lot while serving America during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our family of companies has worked diligently to stay ahead of rapidly evolving consumer trends to source the raw goods, materials and supplies needed to keep our stores open and stocked with essentials our customers and communities are counting on.
To help other businesses prepare to reopen safely, we’re sharing the steps we’ve taken to safeguard our employees while maintaining a flexible and seamless sourcing process.
“With agility, thoughtful planning and rapid decision making, you can support your business with the supplies needed to maintain the highest level of safety for your associates, while delivering the quality products your customers expect.”
