Ralphs Grocery Company |

PROFILE |
 |
The oldest grocer west of the Mississippi, Ralphs Grocery operates about 450 locations, mostly in Southern California, where it is one of the top food retailers. The company also operates warehouse-style stores under the Food 4 Less, PriceRite, and Foods Co banners, as well as smaller supermarkets in Northern California under the Cala and Bell names. Ralphs offers an ever-increasing line of private-label products, such as Private Selection and First Choice. Now owned by Kroger (which acquired Ralphs' parent, Fred Meyer, in 1999), Ralphs has converted some of its smaller stores in affluent neighborhoods to high-end gourmet markets (under the Ralphs Fresh Fare banner) that feature organic foods, prime beef, and fine wines.
