Kroger has closed its online marketplace Kroger Ship, which offered products from other companies alongside grocery delivery.

The company said that it stopped selling third party products “as of March 2025” in an entry on itsFAQ page for the platform. The entry directs customers to the company’s pick-up and delivery options and does not state why the decision was made.

The development was first reported May 13 by grocery trade publication Grocery Dive, who said that a note was put onto the platform announcing its closure. The page that Grocery Dive said contained that note did not show it May 18.

The FAQ page states that eligible returns will be honoured.

Kroger, which owns brand names including Ralph’s, King Soopers, Fred Meyer’s and others, did not respond to a request for comment from USA TODAY Sunday, May 18.
