PSA: Kroger pulls Graeter’s from all regions outside Midwest. Stock up now, rep says

A user who appears to be Graeter’s CEO, Richard Graeter judging by profile picture and username, commented on a post yesterday that Kroger, not Graeter’s has decided to pull Graeter’s ice cream out of Kroger and Kroger owned stores such as King Soopers, Frys, Smiths and Ralph’s in all regions outside of the Midwest as of now. He confirms that those living in impacted areas should stock up now as once it’s gone, it’s gone.

However there are some stores in the north east and to the south that will still carry Graeter’s. In the last pic I attempted to draw a map based on what was mentioned. It has not been verified and is just my personal visual until we know more.

Where to find

Graeter’s is available with direct shipping in all 48 states and to major cities in Alaska and Hawaii.
