Kroger records added to the index

Rankings
The fastest-growing chains in Grocery & Convenience
Ranked by acceleration — opening faster now than they were a year ago.
Most of Kroger's locations in the index sit at the same addresses as one larger operator's — a sibling banner, a host store, or a shared kitchen — so its counts likely include locations that are not its own leases, and it is not ranked against chains that sign their own.
Rankings exclude companies whose entire rise lands in a single quarter — that pattern is a change in data coverage, not expansion.
