Hey there! Let me tell you a story about some truly inspiring individuals. Kroger has teamed up with SlimFast to recognize and celebrate its employees who are making a real difference in their communities. These folks aren’t just doing their jobs—they’re going above and beyond, shining brightly like stars, especially when their communities need them most.
Now, let’s meet some of these incredible Kroger Heroes of the Week:
Brandon Henson: The Multilingual Manager from Ralphs, Gardena, CA
Brandon Henson is a manager who doesn’t just talk the talk—he walks the walk. This guy is all about inclusivity. He took the time to learn Spanish so he could better connect with his team. And get this—he managed to put himself through college while working full-time. But that’s not all. Last year alone, Brandon promoted 15 associates into leadership roles. He’s a true leader, inspiring others and paving the way for their success.

Mary Marcu: The Dance-Off Queen from Smith’s, Las Vegas, NV
Mary Marcu is not your average associate. She decided to celebrate her team’s hard work in the most fun way possible—by organizing a viral dance-off video. Now, that’s what I call thinking outside the box! Not only did she bring joy to her team, but she also brightened the day of everyone who saw the video. Talk about making an impact!

Regina Johnson: The Longtime Kroger Rockstar from Nashville, TN
Regina Johnson has been with Kroger for a whopping 35 years, and she’s still going strong. She’s not just a coworker—she’s a cheerleader for everyone she meets. Her positive energy is infectious, and she has a way of uplifting the spirits of everyone around her. That kind of dedication and passion is something truly special, and it’s no wonder she’s been with the company for so long.

Ken Coleman: The Recruiting Dynamo from Novi, MI
Ken Coleman is a force to be reckoned with. During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, he single-handedly hired over 6,400 new associates. That’s no small feat! And if that wasn’t enough, he does it all with a positive attitude that’s contagious. His team loves working with him, and it’s easy to see why. Ken is the definition of a leader who leads with heart.

Kelly Greene: The Caring Baker from Smith’s, Las Vegas, NV
Kelly Greene is a bakery leader with a heart of gold. In the early days of the pandemic, she went out of her way to purchase and deliver groceries to a customer who was at higher risk. That’s what I call going the extra mile. Kelly’s kindness and compassion are making a real difference in her community, and she’s a shining example of what it means to be a true hero.
