Best I can do is give you this link, if nothing else, it will supply you with the phone numbers for the stores in any given zip code and you can call a few of them.
I've heard a number of times Kroger provides the opportunity to transfer but in many cases do not in hopes you'd quit to relocate and start back on bottom. And in most cases you'd end up with less with newer contract verses those who had better deals that stayed where they are at with wage/benifit packages that seem to be somewhat preserved for oldtimers over several contracts.
