Kroger outlined plans to deliver total shareholder returns of 8% to 10% in 2021 at its virtual Investor Day, held March 31, 2021.

Chairman and CEO Rodney McMullen started the meeting by acknowledging two tragic events that had shaken the company in recent weeks — a shooting at a Roundy’s distribution center in Oconomowoc, Wis. on March 17, and another shooting at a King Soopers in Boulder, Colo. on March 22.
