Target poaches a Kroger executive

Post by SamSpade »

Jeff Burt was most recently in charge of Fred Meyer stores, which are similar in size and scope to a Target supercenter:

Mr. Burt was with Kroger for a long time, but only in charge of Fred Meyer division for about a year. For more on who replaced him at Fred Meyer, refer to the Northwestern United States grocery thread.

I think it really highlights that something is going wrong at Kroger.

How many Division Presidents have left Kroger in the past 10 years and gone to work for a competitor? I think one. Many have left Kroger due to retirement... but few have left and gone to work for a competitor.
