Are you a frequent shopper at Kroger, but find yourself needing to switch up your primary store in the app? Maybe you're traveling, moved to a new neighborhood, or just want to see the deals at a different location. Whatever your reason, we've all been there. It can be a little confusing at first, but don't worry! This comprehensive, step-by-step guide is designed to make the process as smooth as possible. We'll walk you through everything you need to know, from the initial steps to some common questions you might have along the way.

Step 1: Open the Kroger App and Get Ready to Explore
The first and most crucial step is to open your Kroger app. Whether you're on an Android or iOS device, the process is pretty much the same. You'll be greeted by the home screen, which is your gateway to all things Kroger. This is where you'll see your current store displayed, often at the top of the screen.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
A Quick Check: Take a moment to confirm which store is currently selected. Is it the one you want to change? Great! Now you're ready to proceed.

Step 2: Navigating to the Store Selection Menu
Finding the "change store" option is the key to unlocking new locations. While the app interface can change with updates, this feature is usually in a few key places.
Look for the "Store" or "Change Store" button: On the home screen, you'll often see your current store's name or location prominently displayed. This is usually a clickable button. Tap it to open the store selection menu.
Check the main menu: If you don't see a store button on the home screen, look for a menu icon (often three horizontal lines, a "hamburger" menu) in the corner of your screen. Tapping this will reveal a full list of options, including "Store Locator" or "Change Store."
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Step 3: Finding Your New Preferred Store
Once you've accessed the store selection menu, you have a few ways to find your new Kroger location. The app is designed to make this easy for you.
Sub-heading: Searching by Location You can use the search bar at the top of the screen. Simply type in the zip code, city, or even the name of the new store you want to shop at. This is a great option if you know exactly where you're going.
Sub-heading: Using Your Current Location If you have location services enabled on your phone, the app can automatically detect your location and show you nearby Kroger stores. This is super helpful if you're on the go and just need to find the closest one. The app will likely list several stores and their distance from you.
Sub-heading: Browse on a Map Some versions of the app also have a map view, which allows you to visually browse Kroger locations in your area. This can be great for seeing all your options at a glance and deciding which is most convenient for you.
Step 4: Selecting and Confirming Your New Store
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
After you've found the store you want, it's time to make it your new default.
Tap on the Store: From the list or map, simply tap on the specific store you want to select.
Confirm Your Choice: The app will then ask you to confirm if you want to set this as your primary store. A confirmation button, often labeled "Set as My Store" or "Select This Store," will appear. Tap this button to finalize your selection.
What Happens Next? Once you've confirmed, the app will update. You'll notice the name of the new store at the top of your screen, and the weekly ad, digital coupons, and all other store-specific information will now reflect your new choice. Voila! You are now officially shopping at your new location.
Step 5: Managing Your Shopping and Savings
Now that you've changed your store, you can take full advantage of all the benefits that come with it.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Sub-heading: Checking the Weekly Ad Go back to the home screen and check out the new weekly ad. The deals and promotions are specific to each store, so you might find different savings than you did before.
Sub-heading: Loading Digital Coupons Browse through the digital coupons. The availability of coupons can also vary by location, so it's a good idea to check for new offers.
Sub-heading: Updating Your Shopping List If you've been building a shopping list, the app will now show you the aisle locations for items in your new store. This is a huge time-saver! However, be aware that some items and prices might be different, so it's a good idea to double-check your list.
Remember: You can change your store as many times as you like. Whether you're planning a trip or just checking for better deals, the process is quick and easy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are 10 common questions about changing your store on the Kroger app, with quick and helpful answers.

How to use my digital coupons at a different Kroger store? Your digital coupons are tied to your Shopper's Card and will apply at any Kroger-family store, but their availability and which items they apply to may vary. Always check the weekly ad and coupon details for the store you plan to shop at to ensure the deal is valid.
How to find the closest Kroger store to me? Enable location services on your phone, and the app will automatically suggest the closest stores when you go to change your location. Alternatively, use the "Store Locator" feature and your current zip code.
How to see what deals are at a different store before I go? Simply change your preferred store in the app to the one you're interested in. The home screen, weekly ad, and digital coupons will all update to reflect the deals and prices at that specific location.
How to switch back to my old store? Follow the same steps as you did to change it initially. Go to the store selection menu, search for your old store by name or zip code, and set it as your preferred location again.
How to change my store on the Kroger website, not the app? On the Kroger website, you can also change your store. Look for a store name or location at the top of the page. Clicking it will bring up a menu where you can search for and select a new store.

How to fix the app if it won't let me change my store? First, ensure you have a stable internet connection. If the problem persists, try restarting the app or checking for any pending updates. You may also need to clear the app's cache or reinstall it if it's a persistent technical issue.
How to use the app for a different Kroger-family store brand (e.g., Fred Meyer, King Soopers)? The Kroger app is a single platform for all Kroger-family stores. Simply follow the same process to change your store, and you'll be able to select any of the affiliated brands to see their specific ads and deals.
