STORE FORMATS
Kroger’s philosophy is to operate several formats within the same market,
making it convenient for a Customer to shop at any one of our stores at
prices that Customers can trust for any type of trip, whether for dinner
tonight or for all their shopping needs for the month, and to reward our
Customers for doing this. Kroger’s wide variety of store formats is among
our key strengths that set us apart from competitors. We believe that our
Customer base is becoming increasingly diverse – not only in terms of
ethnicity, but also in terms of household mix, purchasing patterns, and
shopping behaviors. We are addressing Customer diversity through our
multiple formats and product selection. Expanding our formats and their
elements also allows us to further leverage Kroger’s existing distribution
and manufacturing facilities.
At year-end 2013, Kroger operated 2,640 supermarkets classified under
the four primary formats listed in the table below.

The combination store (combo) is Kroger’s primary format. The combo
strategy is to offer Customers the advantages of one-stop shopping in
convenient locations for a wide selection of consumables. Combo stores
feature not only a complete supermarket, but most include pharmacies;
service bakeries, delis, seafood, meat, and floral shops; expanded general
merchandise; natural food and organic selections; pet centers; and highquality fresh items such as seafood and organic produce. Many include a
supermarket fuel center. Combination stores that were opened during the
last four years average 77,000 square feet and required an average
investment of $16-18 million, including real estate. Individual locations may
vary widely from the average, depending upon the geography of the store.
Our combo stores have proven successful in competing against all formats,
including supercenters and specialty food retailers.
In certain markets, we have also introduced our “Fresh Fare” approach to
our combo stores. These stores are similar to combo stores but operate
in more upscale trade areas. The perishable department presentation, an
elegant décor package, expanded wine selection, enhanced services, and
overall product variety separate a Fresh Fare store from a traditional
combination store. At the end of 2013, we characterized 77 of our combo
stores as Fresh Fare locations.

Multi-Department Stores
Our multi-department stores operate
under the Fred Meyer ® banner in
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
Averaging over 165,000 square feet,
most Fred Meyer stores are
significantly larger than our combo
stores. The average investment to
build a multi-department store is $32
million, including real estate.
Fred Meyer is unique – no other store is quite like it. Freddy’s® (as our
Customers like to call us) is not a big box store, hypermarket, supercenter,
warehouse store, discounter, or department store. Instead, it is a collection
of several specialty stores seamlessly woven together under one roof:
A great Food Store, with Fresh Produce, Meat & Seafood, Deli, Bakery,
Wine, Cheese, Natural Choices™, Health & Beauty and Pharmacy.
 A complete Apparel Store for Women, Men, Kids, Juniors and Young
Men, plus Shoes, Accessories and Cosmetics.
 A store for your Home – inside and out - featuring Home Décor,
Housewares, Bed & Bath, Furniture, Hardware & Paint, Garden &
Outdoor Living, Electronics, Sports & Auto and Toys.
Most of the 127 Fred Meyer locations in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington also include a Fred Meyer Jewelers® (the nation’s 3rd largest
fine jewelers based on store count), and 92 have Fred Meyer Fuel Centers.
Fred Meyer stores are further differentiated from many competitors by our
strong lineup of famous brands, including: adidas®, Apple®, Ashley®,
Bose®, Calphalon®, Carhartt®, Champion®, Columbia Sportswear®,
Converse®, Cuisinart®, Dockers®, Dyson®, Jockey®, Keurig®, KitchenAid®,
Krups®, Levi’s®, Nike®, Quiksilver®, Samsung®, Skechers®, Sony®, Under
Armour ®, Vans® and Vintage by Nine West®.
Freddy’s® is the original – and still the best – One-Stop Shopping Store.
Customers often tell us the convenience of finding so many great fresh
tastes plus fashion, quality brands, low prices and fast, friendly service in
one easy stop is what separates Fred Meyer from all those other stores!

Fred Meyer’s general merchandise expertise has been a key factor in the
success of our marketplace store format. The continued rollout of our
marketplace strategy would not be possible without the general
merchandise expertise of our great team at Fred Meyer that knows which
categories and products to procure, and how to sell those products.
Marketplace stores are generally smaller than our multi-department stores,
and offer full-service grocery, pharmacy and health & beauty care
departments as well as an expanded perishable food offering and a general
merchandise area that includes home goods, toys, and may include
furniture or apparel. Marketplace stores opened during the last few years
range in size from 100,000 to 130,000 square feet and required an average
investment of $20-22 million, including real estate.
At the end of 2013, we operated 86 Marketplace stores.

Price Impact Stores
 Food 4 Less
 Foods Co
Banners
 Ruler Foods
 PriceRite
Our price impact warehouse stores operate under the Food 4 Less®, Foods
Co® , Ruler and PriceRite banners, offering a “no frills, low cost”
warehouse format and featuring everyday low prices for a wide selection of
grocery, health and beauty care items. Quality meat, seafood, poultry,
dairy, baked goods, and fresh produce items provide a competitive
advantage against club store and supercenter operators. Most locations
contain a fresh bakery and service deli. Some feature Mexican-style
“carnicería” service meat departments. Our price impact warehouse stores
average more than 57,000 square feet and require an average investment
of $15 million. This exciting format allows us to deepen our Customer
reach as a price merchant in several trade areas.
We operate 171 price impact stores under the Food 4 Less® banner in
southern California, Nevada, Illinois, and Indiana, the Foods Co® banner in
central and northern California, the PriceRite banner in New Mexico.
Ruler Foods stores are operated by the Jay C® division. The average store
size is 18,000 square feet and requires an average investment of $2.5
million. These stores offer basic grocery items featuring everyday low
prices, with a high concentration of corporate brand products, in a low cost
structure environment.

Operating Divisions
Kroger’s operating structure is a balance between our corporate office in
Cincinnati, Ohio and our 20 supermarket operating divisions. This balance
keeps merchandising decisions closest to the Customer while achieving
synergies in backstage operations in order to maximize operating
efficiencies and minimize operating costs.
In areas that directly affect the Customer, Kroger’s decentralized structure
places substantial authority for merchandising and operating decisions in
our supermarket divisions. Divisional managers are able to respond
quickly to changes in competition and Customer preferences within each
local market.
For backstage processes that offer economies of scale or are invisible to
the Customer (such as procurement, accounting, treasury operations, etc.),
Kroger leverages its size and centralizes those functions to create value for
Customers and better returns for shareholders.
Kroger’s 20 supermarket operating divisions are:

MERGER & ACQUISITION STRATEGY
As the supermarket industry continues to consolidate, Kroger reviews
potential merger/acquisition candidates and carefully analyzes their
potential to enhance shareholder value.
Kroger’s merger/acquisition strategy focuses primarily on existing markets.
Such “in-market” mergers/acquisitions have lower risk and generally
produce a higher incremental return because they require little investment
in overhead, advertising, and distribution.

CONVENIENCE STORES
OVERVIEW
Kroger operates five convenience
store divisions (“C-Stores”) under
the following banners: Kwik Shop®,
Loaf ‘N Jug®, Quik Stop™, Tom
Thumb™, and Turkey Hill® Minit
Markets. At year-end 2013,

5% of Kroger’s total sales. The CStores partner with the Supermarkets to enhance our Customer’s ability to
earn and redeem fuel rewards. The C-Stores also offer Customers a
variety of Kroger corporate brand products.
GROWTH
During 2013, we opened 4 convenience stores, relocated 5, and closed 4.
