Kroger announces Tmall Global pilot
Kroger is launching a store on Alibaba’s Tmall Global platform.
A pilot project will see the US retailer first offer Chinese consumers items from its Simple Truth natural and organic brand. “E-commerce enables us to quickly scale to reach new customers and markets where we don’t operate physical stores, starting with China,” says Yael Cosset, Kroger’s Chief Digital Officer.
