Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen said half the chain’s customers are under “a lot” of financial strain due to high inflation.

The retail chain has been working with its manufacturers on how they can work together to reduce costs as its customers remain under financial strain, said McMullen at a conference on Jan. 16, reported Fox Business.
