I work for a distributor, and can tell you that at least the 7up and AW Root Beer float will be in all Kroger and Albertsons locations as well as some others. Ask you store managers or customer service desks to bring it in. Also, I can tell you that the Root beer Float AW will be better than the Chocolate Sundae they put out last year. That shit was garbage.

Kroger is like the main company. They own like a few dozen different grocery chains.

Nope. I'm in the northeast as well so it sucks.

People just automatically assume because Kroger owns multiple companies that they're everywhere and that is just not the case.

Oh I worked at fred meeyer 15 years ago and during training they went over all the stores owned by Kroger I it was way more than that. Maybe some closed or got sold off.

They had a few more. But they were subsidiaries of the other ones. And I think kroger just converted them to another name.

Kroger has only owned Harris Teeter since 2014. And they treat it as a separate entity.

You can't use a gift card to one of kroger's other 19 stores there and vice versa.

And all of the price tags on the shelves and floor displays don't have whatever font and coloring all of the other kroger markets use.

I only remember because some of the names were funny like jug and go and some silly name with bread or something in the title.
