Murray's Cheese, the country's oldest cheese shop, now has more than 400 locations in Kroger stores nationwide, and Kroger recently acquired Chicago-based meal kit startup Home Chef.
Kroger, the company works with more than 30,000 suppliers and manufacturers and operates a culinary innovation center in its home city. Founded in 1883 in Cincinnati by Barney H. The company operates under more than a dozen banners like Fred Meyer, Fry's, Mariano's, Ralphs and Smith's, so it's no surprise that two of its stores: Harris Teeter and Kroger, are on our list. is America's largest grocery retailer with 2,800 stores in 35 states and Washington, D.C. The produce is also exemplary, in part because the current CEO - a 34-year veteran of the company who started pushing carts when he was a teen - spent many years as a produce manager in the stores. Shopping in bulk is one of the best tricks shoppers can use to save money at the grocery store. The supermarket is famous for its bulk foods section, where customers can choose from over 800 items like candies, nuts, seasonings and coffee beans, and fill up a bulk food bag with however much they want. This helps keep prices as low as possible. WinCo has its own warehouse, distribution and transportation system, which allows the company to deal directly with suppliers and vendors and eliminate costs in the middle. For one, it doesn't take credit cards (debit cards are accepted) and there are no grocery baggers, because these costs would have to be passed on to the customers. The company does things a bit non-traditionally, which is partly the reason it can offer low prices without having to compromise on quality. Today, there are 126 employee-owned stores in 10 states. The name stands for both Winning Company and as an acronym for the five original states: Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California and Oregon. Proudly Boise-based to this day, the company became WinCo Foods in the late 1990s after an employee vote. WinCo Foods began in 1967 as a discount grocer called Waremart in Boise, Idaho.
In 2016, Hannaford opened a new large-format concept store in Bedford, New Hampshire, with an in-store kitchen, cafe and specialty-shop-style departments. to document that all seafood products sold in every department are sustainably harvested. And in 2012, it became the first major supermarket in the U.S. to receive LEED Platinum certification for a newly opened, environmentally friendly store in 2009. Hannaford was also the first grocery store in the U.S. In 2006, Hannaford launched the Guiding Stars program, a science-based store navigation system that rates the nutritional quality of every food in the store and makes it easy for shoppers to find foods right for them. The East Coast company partners with more than 800 local companies and farmers to stock 6,000-plus products in its stores.
What started with Arthur Hannaford selling fresh produce from a one-horse cart in Portland, Maine, in 1883 has transformed into more than 180 Hannaford stores in five states (Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont).
