CINCINNATI, OH
Wine Enthusiast Magazine has named Kroger the 2013 Retailer of the Year. The company’s “dynamic growth, dedication to wine, and ability to foresee trends and customer service” were a few of the reasons the magazine has selected Kroger for his recognition. Wine Enthusiast honors companies and individuals whose vision has impacted the wine and spirits industries with the Wine Star Awards annually since 2000.
“We are honored to receive recognition from the experts at Wine Enthusiast,” said Michael J. Donnelly, Kroger’s senior vice president of merchandising. “Kroger is focused on providing our customers with spectacular wine experiences – from our exclusive offerings such as Acronym to showcasing their favorite varieties from local wineries.”
Kroger sources wines from local vineyards, employs wine stewards in select stores to enhance the shopping experience, and advocates for customers where laws prevent access to wine in grocery stores, according to a press release.
Congratulations on this recent recognition, Kroger!
