Kroger, the largest traditional supermarket chain in the United States, has appointed Greg Foran as its new Chief Executive Officer following a year-long search. Foran is best known for running Walmart’s U.S. operations from 2014 to 2019, where he oversaw a turnaround that delivered 20 consecutive quarters of comparable sales growth across more than 4,600 stores. His appointment signals that Kroger is looking to borrow from its biggest rival’s playbook as the grocery wars intensify.
