edit "Competitors are investing in store remodeling, and Kroger is falling behind"

Top Contributor: H V | Created when KR was $25.34 | Edit | History

The company doesn't have a comprehensive store-remodeling plan. If you look at their capex investment over the last few years it is very low compared to other major competitors. They will likely invest in other formats (such as Marketplace) sometime soon, but their store base is aging and other grocers are investing.

edit Unions represent higher costs and pose labor risks

Created when KR was $29.10 | Edit | History

Not only does Kroger's unionized workforce mean that the company must pay its employees more than its non-unionized rivals, but Kroger also faces the possibility that its employees could strike, bringing much of its business to a standstill.
