Kroger to cut 3,000 corporate jobs weeks after unveiling AI strategy

Kroger is planning to eliminate approximately 3,000 corporate jobs over the next three years, which will affect roughly 37% of the company’s overall corporate jobs of about 8,200. The cuts was announced by Kroger CEO Greg Foran on October 12, 2026, as reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer . The timing raises questions. Just 20 days earlier, Kroger unveiled its AI strategy. But the company has not linked the cuts to AI. Foran instead pointed to a simpler corporate structure and more investment in store employees.
