Kroger interview preparation

Walk into Kroger prepared.
Know what it looks for.

Kroger is America's largest traditional supermarket operator, running nearly 2,700 stores across 35 states under banners including Kroger, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, and Smith's. With $147.6 billion in 2025 sales and 414,000 associates, Kroger is in the middle of a high-stakes turnaround under new CEO Greg Foran (former Walmart U.S. chief, who started in February 2026), pivoting from the failed Albertsons merger toward a back-to-basics strategy of fresh produce, lower prices, and store fundamentals. Behavioral interviews at Kroger lean heavily on customer service stories, Honesty/Integrity/Respect/Diversity/Safety/Inclusion values, and the "Feed the Human Spirit" purpose — preparing well requires understanding both the operational reality of grocery retail and the cultural reset the new leadership is driving.
