Kroger is merging its Dallas and Houston operations into a single Texas Division led by Rudy DiPietro, effective August 1. This new division encompasses more than 210 stores and 26,000 employees across Texas and Louisiana. The reorganization aims to enhance operational efficiency, keep prices low, and invest in employees amid rising competition from regional rivals H-E-B and WinCo. DiPietro's extensive retail experience is intended to address the challenges posed by growing market share for H-E-B, which has recently increased its presence in Dallas.

The consolidation aims to streamline operations, improve efficiency, lower prices, and enhance investments in employee welfare amid intense competition from H-E-B and WinCo.
DiPietro's previous experience at Ahold Delhaize USA positions him well to overcome challenges from regional competitors like H-E-B and WinCo in Texas.
Market share analysis indicates that while Kroger led H-E-B by 10 points in Dallas at the end of 2021, H-E-B has since gained market share.
