It was reported when it happened, but most New Yorkers are unaware that Kroger bought Murray's Cheese last year. They already have 400 or so standalone Murray's shops _inside_ Krogers around the country, selling the best cheese and 'specialty food' items (charcuterie, crackers, dips, etc.) you can get in the US. And every person behind the counter is trained by Murray's to know their stuff and be able to make expert recommendations.
Murray's bake-at-home mac and cheese, only available at Kroger, sounds quite nice.
- stefantheard 8y agoI didn't know this, thank you for mentioning it. I shop at Kroger pretty often and have never considered buying cheese or charcuterie there since it seemed like it might be bad, guess I was quite a ways off the mark.
- professorgerm 8y agoIt varies by location, though. If you have a Kroger with a Murray's, the cheese selection will be much better than the average grocer. They're easy to recognize given all the Murray's branding they put up. Kroger with their standard cheese counter is pretty much what you'd expect.
- tedmiston 8y agoAh, that makes sense. I wondered where the new fancy cheese mini shops came from.
