Kroger is the nation's #1 pure grocery chain, but it still must watch out for falling prices; Wal-Mart has overtaken Kroger as the largest seller of groceries in the US. While Kroger has diversified through acquisitions, adding jewelry and general merchandise to its mix, food stores still account for about 85% of sales. The company operates about 3,600 stores, including some 2,460 supermarkets and multidepartment stores, under two dozen banners, in about 30 states. It also runs 785 convenience stores under names such as Quik Stop and Kwik Shop. Kroger's Fred Meyer Stores subsidiary (acquired in 1999) operates about 125 supercenters, which offer groceries, general merchandise, and jewelry, in the western US.

A chartmaster who warned of stock-market weakness says he's still worried and shares 3 safe investments
- Market strategist David Keller remains cautious about US stocks in 2025 and believes the recent sell-off may not be over yet.
- Keller suggests three safe investments for investors during the downturn: groceries, guns, and gold.
- He points out that US stocks have faced significant losses and caution remains warranted due to economic uncertainty and a potential trade war.
- Keller emphasizes the importance of technical market trends and signals, rather than focusing on trade policy debates.
- He believes that stock valuations are still elevated despite recent declines, and earnings expectations play a crucial role in market movements.
- Keller identifies key support and resistance levels for the S&P 500, suggesting possible downside risks if certain levels are breached.
- The strategist also highlights the importance of monitoring short-term market breadth and the market's 200-day moving average for potential upside or downside.
- Keller warns that the general slope of the market is negative unless there is a significant shift in trade policy or economic conditions.
- Investors are advised to consider investing in consumer staples like Kroger, military contractor Northrop Grumman, and gold-related assets for safety.
- Regarding gold, Keller suggests waiting for a pullback as the price has surged recently.

Beyond the Register: Evaluating the Efficacy of Electronic Shelf Labels in Retail Environments
- Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) have emerged as a more advanced solution in retail environments, offering automation, dynamic pricing capabilities, and improved pricing accuracy compared to traditional paper-based labels.
- ESLs benefit from technological advancements in radio frequency communication and electronic paper displays, offering improved battery life, readability, durability, and affordability.
- Adoption of ESLs by major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Best Buy signals industry interest in digital pricing and operational efficiency.
- ESLs reduce labor costs by automating price updates, saving significant time compared to manual tag updates for thousands of SKUs.
- Improved pricing accuracy and compliance are notable benefits of ESLs, as they sync directly with store databases, reducing pricing errors and customer frustrations.
- ESLs enable real-time dynamic pricing based on demand, competitor pricing, and promotions, supporting price parity between physical stores and e-commerce.
- ESLs offer environmental benefits by reducing paper waste and supporting sustainable practices in the retail industry.
- Challenges of ESL implementation include high initial investment costs, ongoing maintenance, dependence on digital infrastructure, and potential difficulties in highlighting promotions effectively.
- For large retailers with extensive SKUs and pricing changes, ESLs are a strong investment, while smaller businesses may find traditional paper tags more practical in the short term.
- Retailers need to assess their operations, budget, and long-term goals before deciding to implement ESLs, considering factors such as financial feasibility and technological compatibility.
