By MELISSA SHEPPARD Associated Press WriterThe Kroger grocery chain is trying to stay one step ahead of competition in the online grocery market, and it’s trying to do it by selling its products in the physical store.

The online stores sell groceries online, but the stores also carry groceries at Krogease locations.
Kroger has sold more than 1 billion groceries in more than 50 countries since its online store opened in 2014.
Krogeas sales have risen by over 200% since its first online store, at its flagship grocery store in Los Angeles, opened in 2015.
“Online is a big opportunity for us,” Kroger Chief Executive Officer Chris Dunn said in a press release.
“It’s been a challenging time for our business.
But Kroger is focused on the next chapter, which is to create a new future for all of our consumers and our employees, with a focus on making the store experience as simple and convenient as possible.”
