 PROFILE
Already a big name among US grocers, Fred Meyer became part of an even bigger beast when top US supermarket chain Kroger acquired it in 1999. Fred Meyer operates about 1,300 stores, mostly in the West, under a number of banners. Its major chains include Fred Meyer (some 130 multidepartment stores offering groceries, general merchandise, and jewelry), Ralphs (about 450 supermarkets in California and Nevada), Smith's Food & Drug Centers (more than 115 supermarkets in eight western states), QFC (about 90 stores in Washington and Oregon), and Fry's (100-plus supermarkets in Arizona). Fred Meyer also sells jewelry in more than 400 stand-alone and in-store outlets and runs several warehouse chains (including Food 4 Less).
