Kroger permanently closed 15 San Antonio stores on August 1993.
, it was once a competitor of H-E-B and was one of the first grocery stores to allow credit cards.
The first Kroger arrived in San Antonio in 1980 at 5254 Blanco Road in Blanco Plaza, which is now a Family Dollar. Long lines formed at least an hour ahead of the scheduled opening, according to the San Antonio Light. Throngs of shoppers “made their way into the big, beautiful store and shopped aisle after aisle for the grand opening specials,” the newspaper reported.Over a decade later, Kroger had opened 15 stores around San Antonio.
In 1991, Kroger became the first grocery chain to accept credit cards. Only 15 percent of supermarkets in the United States accepted credit cards at the time, and many customers thought it was illegal. It wasn't illegal, but consumer groups fought its usage, believing that shoppers shouldn't be using credit cards for something as fundamental as food, according to a Express-News story.In 1993, Ariz.-based Megafoods Stores Inc. bought the regional Kroger stores for $13.5 million.
