I’m not sure outside of the US, but I know within the US, via owning so many other companies, they are second only to Walmart in revenue and growth. I can also say that part of their system is to be very quiet, they buy out local chains and then slowly over many years turn them into Krogers. My local chain was bought in the 90s, but by 2009 there were still a few stores carrying the original signage and products still had the original labeling, however they have by now all been formally converted. They don’t need brand recognition, they’re MASSIVE and take out any competition they can add to their arsenal.
