Kroger

Grade B (good: mostly official pages; check the flagged values before relying on them). 100% of 9 sources are the organization's own pages or government sites; only 9 sourced values, so the entry is thin.

Verification notes
Kroger delivery orders are fulfilled either by Kroger or by Instacart; missing items go to whichever company fulfilled the order. Kroger family banner stores may have their own websites. The Boost membership cancellation path and the general return policy were not confirmed (kroger.com pages timed out).
