During the five months since Kroger’s attempt to combine with Albertsons fell apart, the grocery chain has taken several steps to put the unsuccessful transaction behind it.
The company named a new chief financial officer from outside the company, created a new business unit to consolidate its online operations under a single leader and added hundreds of private label products to its expansive own brands portfolio. Kroger has also cut staff and rejiggered teams at its 84.51° retail analytics subsidiary in a bid to improve efficiency.
