Early Chamber of Commerce named Kroger as their Business of the Month of February.

Kroger began when Barney Kroger opened a grocery store in downtown Cincinnati in 1883 by investing his life savings of $372. His “mission statement” from the beginning was – “Be particular. Never sell anything you would not want yourself.”

Kroger’s mission is to be a leader in the distribution and merchandising of food, pharmacy, health and personal care items, seasonal merchandise, and related products and services.

 

To accomplish its mission, Kroger has six values provide guidance to its employees about how they do what they do every day. Those values are:

Honesty – Doing the right things, telling the truth.

Integrity – Living our values in all we do, unified approach to how we do business and treat each other.

Respect for Others – Valuing opinions, property and perspectives of others.

Diversity – Reflecting a workplace that includes a variety of people from different backgrounds and cultures, diversity of opinions and thoughts.
