Kroger Health, the healthcare division of The Kroger Co., announced it has supported over 250,000 high school students in completing its Prescription Drug Safety: Know the truth program. Since partnering with Everfi in 2018, student participation has surged from roughly 700 in the 2017–18 academic year to nearly 65,000 in 2024–25. Pre- and post-assessment data indicate program graduates demonstrate a 40% improvement in their ability to recognize misuse warning signs and report greater confidence in guiding peers toward safe medication practices. This milestone underscores Kroger Health’s strategy to strengthen community engagement, bolster its public health credentials and drive long-term brand loyalty among families and school districts.

In a bid to accelerate digital sales growth, Kroger has launched nearly 2,700 of its Family of Companies stores on Uber Eats, Uber and Postmates apps nationwide. Participating banners include Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Smith’s, Fry’s, Harris Teeter and Mariano’s, offering customers same-day delivery on fresh groceries, household essentials and Kroger’s Our Brands portfolio. Initial promotional incentives feature up to 50% off first orders and waived delivery fees for Uber One members. Management projects this channel partnership could boost Kroger’s online grocery sales penetration from 7.8% last quarter to over 10% by mid-year, complementing its existing ship-to-home and click-list services and enhancing unit economics through shared logistics infrastructure.
