Can anyone tell me if Kroger Foods is an affiliate of Ralphs Market?
The reason I ask is, I've been buying Extra Virgil Olive oil made by Kroger and the other day, I went shopping at Ralphs and saw the same exact labeling on their olive oil. The only difference was, one said Kroger and the other said Ralphs.
Can anyone verify this for me?
Thanx

Yes Kroger owns many differently named stores. Ralph's is one. Here in Colorado we have City Market and King Soopers all owned by Kroger. Kroger bought the stores but did not change the names because it may chase loyal customers off if they thought the owner had changed. Dillion's, Frye's, Fred Myers and Smiths are also Kroger owned stores. What you are referring to as the brand name is Krooger private label and is carried all the above mentioned stores.
By the way I thought Kroger Olive Oil was the nastiest thing I've ever tasted. I always by the name brand

Yes.....Fred Meyer bought Ralphs and then Kroger bought Fred Meyer. The worst thing that ever happened to Fred Meyer.
Thats why I don't work there anymore.
