Bernard Kroger was a successful American businessman who created the Kroger chain of supermarkets. Kroger was a pioneering grocery innovator who introduced self-service shopping to the public in 1916 which allowed customers to enter his stores, shop, and bring the merchandise home themselves instead of waiting for a delivery. Kroger also pioneered in-store bakery and meat counters and Kroger grocery stores were the first in the country to sell freshly baked goods, meat, and groceries under the same roof.
Fun Fact
Negotiations for the sale of Bernard Kroger’s entire stockholdings in the Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. began near the end of 1927, and resulted in a sale by him of his stockholdings for a cash consideration of $24,397,000. This amount was received in January of 1928. Mr. Kroger sold his stock because, as he said, “the price offered was so much in excess of what I considered its real value that I could not afford to refuse it.”
Today the total capitalization of Kroger’s is worth north of $85 billion.
