Dunno about ChicagoLand, but here in MI, Kroger's biggest competitor is Meijer & their newest thing is adding a bunch of small format stores in addition to their traditional monstrosities.

Meijer Grocery is still 5-6X bigger than a TJ's. Kroger has one "small" store in central Cincinnati that IMO is still trying to do too much. Target does a better job of having serviceable grocery inside small stores. www.supermarketnews.com/new-stores/b...

Traditional Meijer stores still exist, sure. I'm talking about their smaller format "Meijer Market" stores which are a completely different beast: www.michiganbusiness.org/reports-data...

Unsure if it's related to the death of their old "we sell everything from imported produce to clothing to tires & are open 24/7 model" during lockdown.
