Yes, Kroger has started accepting Apple Pay at select locations, though the rollout has been gradual.
In April 2023, Kroger confirmed that it has begun accepting Apple Pay at some of its Kroger Family of Stores locations, particularly in Kentucky and Ohio.
The availability of Apple Pay at Kroger stores is still limited, as the company continues to promote its mobile payment solution called Kroger Pay.
Kroger has not provided details on how many of its over 1,200 stores nationwide currently accept Apple Pay, but the company has indicated it is open to customer feedback on the payment option.
As more customers request and use Apple Pay at Kroger stores, the company may expand its acceptance of the mobile payment solution.
However, Kroger’s focus on Kroger Pay may limit the pace of Apple Pay’s rollout across all its locations. Customers should check with their local Kroger store to see if Apple Pay is supported, as availability varies.
