About Kroger

The Kroger label covers the mainstream tier of the company's own brands, the middle rung between its budget and premium lines. Its own-brand sales exceed the total revenue of most listed food manufacturers. The company operates its own manufacturing plants, making a substantial share of the goods it sells under its labels rather than contracting all of it out, which is unusual among supermarkets.
