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 ?

It depends on the vendor.  Some suppliers stock their own product.

If the tag says direct delivery its a vendor item, if not its Kroger.

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.
