According to a report from cincinnati.com, the Ohio specific jobs will expand across multiple departments. In addition to general merchandise, online shopping, and apparel, the department expansions include:
Kroger’s rapid growth planned for 2016, comes at the behest of the company’s new executive staff. New Vice President of Retail Operations, Mary Ellen Adcock, was promoted from Columbus Operations VP last month. Kenny Kimball, will assume his future role as President for the Smith’s division, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 30.
