💰 How Kroger Co. Makes Money

Kroger generates revenue from grocery retail sales, pharmacy prescriptions, fuel sales, and an emerging retail media advertising business. Private-label products, which carry higher margins than national brands, account for roughly 28% of unit sales.

📜 Key Milestones

Barney Kroger founded the company in 1883 in Cincinnati with a single grocery store. Kroger grew through decades of acquisitions, including Fred Meyer in 1999 and Harris Teeter in 2014. The proposed $24.6 billion merger with Albertsons, announced in 2022, faced intense regulatory scrutiny and was ultimately blocked by the FTC.

📝 Analyst Take

The failed Albertsons merger was a setback, but Kroger's standalone business is solid—the retail media network and private-label strength provide margin expansion levers that pure-play grocers lack. The stock is perennially cheap for a reason, but the fundamentals are better than the multiple suggests.
