US supermarket chain Kroger has shut down one of its Ohio stores to the public so it can focus on online pickup orders as demand for e-commerce services surges amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Pickup is available at the store from 8 am to 8 pm every day.
"The pickup-only model is ideal for all customers, especially for senior and higher risk shoppers," says Erin Rolfes, Corporate Affairs Manager of Kroger's Cincinnati-Dayton division.
E-commerce boss
Kroger is on the hunt for a Head of E-commerce as it looks to build “the best online grocery shopping experience in the industry”.
A job spec says: “The Head of E-commerce will work with Merchandising, Product Experience and Enterprise Leadership teams to develop a robust e-commerce growth strategy, drive profitable growth and scale the business leveraging all Kroger assets and underlying technology.”
It adds: “You'll define, establish and communicate operational best practices and ensure adherence to digital and merchandising guidelines. You'll also be asked to drive and manage a team of high performing associates to achieve digital objectives while demonstrating the company’s core values of respect, honesty, integrity, diversity, inclusion and safety.”
