Kroger Rolls Out Mandatory Uniforms for 400,000 Workers After Decade Without Policy Changes

Kroger has implemented its first dress code update in ten years, requiring nearly 400,000 in-store employees to wear company-issued shirts featuring the brand's shopping-cart logo. The new attire, available in blue, red, or black depending on the store division, replaces the previous policy where workers wore personal clothing under a company apron. Kroger states the change was driven by feedback from both shoppers and employees, aiming to make staff easier to identify and improve the overall shopping experience. The rollout has been completed, with the company reporting positive initial responses regarding the fit and cohesion of the new look. This policy shift occurs alongside other operational changes, including the redesign of apron straps to reduce neck irritation for workers and a broader strategy to close over 60 underperforming stores across the United States.

Kroger’s $17M Pharmacy Settlement: How to Claim Your Share

Eligible Kroger pharmacy customers who bought certain generics in the last eight years may file a claim for a prorated share of a proposed $17 million class-action settlement. The suit alleges insured customers were overcharged because prices weren’t adjusted for Kroger Savings Club discounts. Kroger says discounts were available only to savings-club members and that it does not admit wrongdoing. Claims must be filed by December 21, and final court approval is still needed.
