Less than three weeks after selling nine grocery stores in the Memphis area to Kroger, Schnuck Markets Inc. is now acquiring seven stores in Rockford, Ill., from Kroger.
Schnucks is acquiring seven Hilander stores and one fuel center in Rockford from the central division of the Kroger Co. of Cincinnati.
Schnucks already operates four supermarkets, under the Logli name, in the Rockford market.
“We are excited for the opportunity to serve more Rockford-area customers,” said Chairman and CEO Scott Schnuck. “These additional outlets will enhance operating efficiencies across the region and improve our ability to compete with a growing number of traditional and non-traditional retail outlets.”
