(Reuters) – Kroger beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly same-store sales on Thursday, benefiting from a surge in customers shopping for its lower priced and freshly sourced groceries at its stores and online.
Identical sales, excluding fuel, rose 2.3% at the supermarket chain in the third quarter, compared with analysts’ average estimate of 1.77% rise, according to LSEG data.
