No, Kroger grocery stores do not sell guns

The Kroger Company, which has more than 2,000 locations in the U.S., does not sell firearms. You’d think otherwise from reading the news Thursday morning. Funny thing — there’s been a lot of this going around lately.

CBS News had the breaking alert: “Kroger, the nation’s biggest grocery chain, will no longer sell guns to people under 21 years of age, the company says.” The Wall Street Journal claimed elsewhere: “Kroger to Stop Selling Guns to Buyers Under 21.” Time magazine said, “Kroger Will No Longer Sell Guns to People Under 21.”
