The Kroger Co. traces its origins back to a business called the Great Western Tea Company, founded by Bernard H. (“Barney”) Kroger and B.A. Branagan in Cincinnati in 1883. Kroger, a former coffee-and-tea salesman, soon bought out Branagan’s interest, and by 1885 he had a chain of four groceries. In 1901 he established a bakery, thus serving as his own supplier and driving down costs. The company later came to own many other food-processing facilities. The chain had grown to 40 stores by 1902 (1902-1946), when it was incorporated as Kroger Grocery and Baking Co. Kroger bought a meat company in 1904 and set up its first in-store meat departments, thus taking its customers another step closer to one-stop food shopping.
