Kroger to close three automated delivery fulfillment sites, incur $2.6 billion charge
Reuters ^ | 11/18/25 | Anuja Bharat Mistry Posted on by DallasBiff Nov 18 (Reuters) Kroger (KR. N) will close three automated delivery fulfillment facilities and record an impairment charge of about $2. 6 billion in its third quarter, as the U. S. grocer expands its third-party delivery partnerships. The company said on Tuesday it would shutter the centers it operates with British online supermarket and technology group Ocado (OCDO. L) in Wisconsin, Maryland, and Florida in January, while monitoring the rest. Kroger, which had partnered with Ocado in 2018 to deploy the company’s Smart Platform for automated fulfillment centers, expects the closures to have no impact on its core sales. Ocado said it would receive over $250 million in compensation following the closures, and expects an impact of about $50 million in fiscal year 2026 for its fee revenue in fiscal year 2026. Kroger had strengthened its partnership with online grocery and food delivery firms such as Instacart (CART. O),, DoorDash (DASH. O), and UberEats (UBER. N), as part of its efforts to rework its e-commerce strategy, and expects to improve e-commerce profitability by about $400 million in its fiscal year 2026. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters. com .
