The largest supermarket chain company in the world is the Kroger Company. Even neighborhoods and towns that don’t have a Kroger often have one of the brand’s other supermarkets, such as Ralphs, King Soopers, Harris Teeter, Food 4 Less, and Dillon’s.
Many of the top supermarket companies reach those positions through a similar model of owning many different grocery brands. Albertsons, the second-largest supermarket company, owns 20 brands including Safeway, Acme, and Tom Thumb. Even regional grocery chains often own multiple store brands. Texas grocery chain H-E-B also owns organic retailer Central Market and Latino grocery chain Mi Tienda.
Other supermarket chains have a higher profile outside the United States. Royal Ahold Delhaize, the third-largest supermarket company in 2019, started in the Netherlands. Its U.S. division now owns Stop & Shop, Giant, Food Lion, and Peapod.
Top 10 Supermarket Companies in 2019
The following supermarkets are listed based on the sales in billions of U.S. dollars. Some chains focus on a particular region of the U.S. while others are nationwide.
Top 10 Retail Companies 2018
The companies within the top 10 have remained the same from 2018 to 2019, though there have been some notable shifts. The top eight companies all increased their sales, while the final two had their sales decrease from 2018 to 2019.
2020 Trends in the Supermarket and Grocery Industry
Grocery and supermarket stores make up the largest retail channel for food in the United States. While the number of businesses opening in the industry is expected to remain static in 2020, revenues will likely grow to US$678 billion. The supermarket industry employs nearly three million people.
As per capita disposable income increases, consumers are spending more on groceries to buy premium and organic foods. This shift has contributed to the increase in revenue for the industry. Supermarkets are also continuing to see steady sales in private or store-label brands, which are cheaper for the consumer as well as less costly to produce.
The grocery and supermarket industry is exposed to risks from rising agricultural prices. Prices can increase due to drought, flood, trade wars, or other national or global stressors. When this happens, companies must either pass these increases on to consumers or take a reduction in profits.
