Kroger announced Friday that its family of stores would be hiring for an estimated 20,000 permanent positions in its supermarket divisions.
"Kroger's growth trajectory creates more job opportunities for current and future employees," said Katy Barclay, Kroger's senior vice president of human resources. "Right now in our stores across the country we have openings for bright, hard-working associates who are passionate about making a difference for customers every day."
Kroger invites interested applicants to visit www.kroger.com/careers where they can join Kroger's talent network, sign up to receive job alerts and apply for jobs.
Over the last six years, Kroger has created more than 40,000 new jobs. This figure does not include jobs created as a result of capital investment, such as temporary construction jobs, nor does it include Harris Teeter's approximately 25,000 associates who joined the Kroger family earlier this year.
Kroger has hired more than 22,500 veterans since 2009. In addition, Kroger is proud to have helped the "100,000 Jobs Mission" surpass its original goal in January 2014, seven years early. The "100,000 Jobs Mission" is a coalition of more than 130 companies with the common goal of hiring more than 100,000 transitioning service members and military veterans by 2020.
