Kroger Named Winsight Grocery Business of the Year

For progress against audacious sustainability goals in difficult circumstances, and for creating a movement that has inspired and engaged partners throughout the food chain, Kroger is WGB’s Grocery Business of the Year.

The founder of the marketplace option now adopted by a number of U.S. grocers and distributors joins WGB's Breakroom to discuss what he calls a flexible and profitable avenue to compete with online giants by expanding virtual assortments—and integrating them into omnichannel.

In an exclusive Q&A, Anthony Hucker addresses IPO ambitions, competition and a five-year transformation that's rolled into its final phase.

Bryan Dickey, who created a viral social media empire around the grocery chain's phenomenal following for its sandwiches, has run into a legal grinder that raises questions surrounding even bigger industry trends.

The digital promotions pioneer discusses a turnaround at the company he founded, and the potential for omnichannel food retailers to get in on "high-octane" digital ad revenue.

The study finds that 60% of shoppers prefer to have their products delivered as quickly as possible vs. eco-friendly consolidated shipments.

In an interview with WGB, Ahold Delhaize’s Mark Williamson discusses getting the right message in the right place, and its implications for supporting the overall business.

The Planned Grocery service, which tracks future grocery stores, has integrated a parallel database of new home development activity from a sister company.

"I see it as my responsibility as a decision-maker to cater to the needs that I can see and amplify products from diverse suppliers that can fill those unique gaps for our customers," Freeman says.
