Kroger plans to cut approximately 3,000 corporate positions over the next three years, representing 37% of its 8,200 corporate employees. New CEO Greg Foran announced the restructuring in an internal memo dated October 12, 2026, as part of a strategy to simplify operations and eliminate redundancies through technology, including artificial intelligence. The cuts will primarily affect locations in Cincinnati, Charlotte, and Portland, Oregon. The company has also lowered its full-year identical sales target amid intensifying competition from Walmart, Aldi, Costco, and Amazon. Kroger had already cut approximately 1,000 positions in mid-2025.
