The Kroger Co. currently operates 791 convenience stores in 16 states, under six banners. The stores offer a limited selection of Kroger private-label products, and some stores are served by Kroger distribution centers.

Growth
New convenience stores range from 3,300 square feet to 4,000 square feet in size and are typically located on parcels of one to two acres. The new stores generally offer four to eight gasoline pumps, covered by a large, well-lit canopy. The majority of the gasoline facilities have the latest credit card reader technology.

Markets
The convenience stores concentrate on small to medium-sized towns located near interstate highways. Two-thirds of the stores are located in towns with fewer than 75,000 residents.
