If Kroger ever went full tilt into c-stores nationally they would be a major competitor to 7-11 and Circle K

They do own a handful of convenience stores nationwide, but not under the same name. There's Kwik Shop which mostly is in Dillon's territory save for a few in the Houston division which were former Albertsons Express stores (given that Kroger recently built a self-branded full convenience store concept in the Houston division, those might end up switching to that), Tom Thumb in Florida (not Albertsons' Tom Thumb), Turkey Hill, and Loaf 'n Jug. From what I have heard on RW, some of the Kwik Shops in the West Coast are franchised operations and pretty ratty.
