Optimism and Gratitude
Every holiday season, I’m joyfully reminded of the role Kroger plays in the lives of our nearly half a million associates, as well as the more than 11 million customers who shop in our stores daily, and the millions more who engage with us through the Kroger app and at Kroger.com for grocery pickup, delivery and ship.
This is truly one of my favorite times of the year, because everyone celebrates it with their own delicious food and in their own way. When I was in our newly remodeled Anderson Township store in Cincinnati, I loved seeing the smiling eyes of associates and customers plus the beautiful holiday displays. Personally, my wife and I can’t wait to make a batch of our highly coveted fudge (my Mother’s recipe adjusted a little)!
But as we all know, this year is different. Given the many challenges of 2020, this year is about more than holiday cheer and celebration; it’s about protecting ourselves and uplifting each other. It’s about remaining optimistic in spite of the many obstacles we’re all navigating.
It’s been a humbling year to say the least, and I have deep appreciation for each of our associates, from those who work in our stores, pharmacies and food production facilities to our distribution centers, customer support hubs and offices. I’m so proud of our team and all we’ve accomplished.
Thank you to every customer for shopping with us and for choosing us as your grocery store. I wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season. And remember, together, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 while protecting ourselves and each other. Please remember to wash your hands frequently, socially distance and wear a mask.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

2 个月$3 for ONE avocado? You remind me of Brian Thompson in a way. You DO realize that we are real humans who shop in your stores when we have to? People who have to eat? Eh, you don’t care. Neither did Brian. ????♀?
