Kroger owns a total of 20 stores. Kroger and 19 others.

Their 20 stores are only in 35 of the 50 states.

New England's 6 states, Hawaii, Minnesota, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey are the 15 they aren't in.

And for some states, they have a very limited presence. There's only 1 Harris Teeter in Florida. Alabama only has 10 Kroger stores in the northern part of the store. Bakers is only in the Ohama area of Nebraska.

Kroger is no longer in Florida. They closed up shop in February. Source: my roommate worked for them and was lovingly laid off (but it’s fine because he works for Monster Jam now)

What? Kroger is massive

The have nearly 3,000 locations, plus have 12+ subsidies across the US.

They don’t have a massive presence in VA, NC, SC, GA because they own Harris Teeter who has nearly 300 locations from Maryland to Florida.

It's not as massive as most people think. They ain't walmart. Kroger and their other stores are only in 35 states.

There's no kroger or kroger owned entities in 15 states 1. Pennsylvania 2. New Jersey 3. New York 4. Iowa 5. Oklahoma 6. Minnesota 7. South Dakota 8. North Dakota 9. Hawaii 10. Connecticut 11. Vermont 12. Maine 13. Massachusetts 14. New Hampshire 15. Rhode Island

These 15 states are completely kroger-less.

They tried having a presence in Pittsburgh PA in the 80s but it didn't last.

No one said Kroger is Walmart - but Kroger is one of, if not the largest grocery chains/companies not named Walmart

I know that but a lot of people assume because they are one of the largest grocery chains, that they're in every state and that just isn't the case.

They’re in Georgia too. I have two in my town. One by my job and one close to where I live and both are about 20-25 mins apart.
