A culture built on pride and purpose

At PL Marketing, we do more than stock shelves and manage displays, we create opportunities for success. As employee-owners, we take pride in knowing our work directly impacts Kroger’s growth and our own financial future. Every shelf reset, every planogram drawn, every new item launched matters because we're not just employees, we're owners.
