Kroger Cuts Nearly 1,000 Corporate Jobs in Restructuring

Kroger says the move shifts resources to customer-facing investments following its scrapped Albertsons merger.

Overview

  • The reductions apply only to corporate roles, with no cuts to store, manufacturing or distribution center employees.
  • About 200 of the eliminated positions are in the Cincinnati area, according to the company.
  • Savings are earmarked for lower prices, new store openings and added hours and jobs at the store level.
  • The overhaul accompanies a plan to close about 60 underperforming stores over roughly 18 months, with affected store workers offered roles nearby.
  • This is the third round of non-store cuts in 2025 under interim CEO Ron Sargent, with reports indicating Technology and Digital teams are disproportionately affected.
