Is there a private company that stocks snack items in the Kroger stores like chips, cookies and such or do Kroger employees do that ? I heard that it might be a private company but don't know the name of it. Any one know ?
I think Frito Lay stocks their own, many brand-name drinks are vendor stocked. Water, can goods, dry goods are done by grocery from what I remember. There are also vendors who come in and build displays and stock product so it varies. I didn't stay with grocery long.
Nabisco, Keebler, Frito-Lay, Coke, Pepsi, 7up, Turner Dairy, Budweiser, Coors, and various other alcohol and bread companies send vendors to stock the products. A grocery clerk may have to get some for a customer if there is not any on the shelf though. Vending always seemed like a cool gig to me. You get to do whatever the hell you want since store management isn't going to say anything to you. You need a super clean background check though, especially if you're stocking alcohol.
