Most Kroger stores are open daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with Sunday matching weekday hours. Christmas Day is the only nationwide closure. Thanksgiving runs reduced hours (open until ~4:00 PM, pharmacies closed). Easter is regular hours. Customer service: 1-800-KROGERS (1-800-576-4377).

Kroger is the largest US grocery chain by store count after Walmart, with around 2,800 supermarkets across 35 states under the Kroger banner plus about two dozen regional banners including Fred Meyer, Smith’s, Ralphs, King Soopers, QFC, Mariano’s, Harris Teeter, Frys Food, Dillons, and Pick ‘n Save, all owned by The Kroger Co. (Cincinnati, Ohio).

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Kroger open today, what are the Sunday hours, is the store open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, when does the pharmacy close, and how to reach customer service at 1-800-KROGERS.

One thing to know: Kroger closes nationwide only on Christmas Day. Thanksgiving Day stores open early and close around 4:00 PM (in-store pharmacies are closed), Easter Sunday runs regular hours, and Sunday hours match weekday hours at most stores (similar to Publix and unlike Aldi which closes Easter). The Kroger banner family means searches for “Fred Meyer hours,” “Smith’s hours,” “Ralphs hours,” or “King Soopers hours” all describe stores under the same parent with the same holiday calendar. The Ahold Delhaize parent runs a similar multi-banner US structure across the Southeast and Northeast, with Food Lion as the Southeast banner alongside Stop & Shop, Giant, and Hannaford.
