CINCINNATI — Kroger Co., the parent of King Soopers and City Market stores, reported Tuesday its third-quarter profit jumped 18 percent on strong sales, but margins were hurt by what it sells outside stores — gas.
Kroger earned $253.8 million, or 37 cents per share, for the quarter ended Nov. 10, up from $214.7 million, or 30 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
