Former Walmart US CEO Greg Foran takes helm at rival grocer Kroger after year-long search

Source: Fox Business

“A former top rival of grocery giant Kroger has been named the company’s next chief executive officer. Greg Foran — former CEO of Walmart’s U.S. division — will now lead Kroger following an ‘extensive’ year-long search for ‘an innovative retail leader with a strong track record,’ the company announced Monday. Kroger is America’s biggest grocer by sales, behind only Walmart, and has been looking for a new leader since March 2025 when former CEO Rodney McMullen was ousted over an undisclosed ethics violation.” (02/09/26)
