Foods Co was founded in 1977 in California. The company is owned by Food 4 Less, which in turn in owned by Kroger. In northern California, Kroger does not own the rights to the Food 4 Less name, so it operates under the Food Co name.
The company operates a chain of no frills ,warehouse type of grocery store, where customers do their own loading, unloading, and bagging of groceries. Customers save money by buying some items in bulk form, such as nuts and beans, and by foregoing fancy fixtures and “pretty” stores, as well as by bagging their own groceries, rather than relying on baggers.
Foods Co store layouts greatly resemble Food 4 Less in that there are frequently disorganized aisles with actively working forklifts moving pallets. Many, however, feel that this is well worth the lower food prices. Company headquarters are located in Cincinnati, Ohio.
