How will I receive updates about this event?

Communication from Kroger:

  • The Louisville Division's Corporate Affairs Manager, Jessica Sharp, is Kroger’s statewide Shop & Share Organizer.
    • Communications regarding the Shop & Share event may come directly from Jessica, your division’s Corporate Affairs Manager, or your District Managers, who will then share with store management and Our Promise teams.
    • Store managers and Our Promise teams are encouraged to share regular reminders with staff through appropriate channels (i.e., weekly team meetings, calendar invitations, etc.).

Communication from your designated Shop & Share Coordinator:
