The Kroger Co. announced on March 3, 2025, that CEO Rodney McMullen has resigned following an internal investigation into his personal conduct. The company stated that McMullen's behavior was deemed inconsistent with its policy on business ethics.
Kroger clarified that the investigation found McMullen's conduct was not related to the company's financial performance, operations, or reporting, and did not involve any Kroger associates. McMullen had served as CEO for over a decade.
Longtime Kroger director Ronald Sargent will serve as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for a permanent replacement. This unexpected leadership change at the top creates a period of transition for Kroger, particularly after the recent termination of its merger with Albertsons.
