What Roundy's does
Roundy's is a Midwest grocery retailer operating 140 physical stores under three regional banners: Pick 'n Save (100 locations across Wisconsin), Metro Market (Wisconsin), and Mariano's (40 locations in the Chicagoland area of Illinois). The company serves Midwest grocery consumers through these storefronts, offering general merchandise and groceries under distinct regional brands that have operated for multiple decades; Pick 'n Save and the legacy Roundy's identity trace back to the company's 1872 founding in Milwaukee, while Mariano's was added through prior acquisitions before Roundy's itself was acquired.
The underlying product is conventional supermarket retail — physical stores stocked with packaged groceries, fresh, and general merchandise — with no proprietary technology stack, apps, APIs, or disclosed digital platform identified in the available data. The business model is standard grocery retail revenue: store-level sales to consumers, with no disclosed pricing model, contract structure, or e-commerce channel beyond the physical storefront footprint. Banners are run as regionally branded retail concepts under unified corporate ownership rather than as a platform-plus-modules architecture.
Roundy's, Inc. is a privately held corporation incorporated in Ohio (inferred from Kroger's Cincinnati headquarters) and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), the largest pure-play grocer in the United States. The company is delisted (former NYSE: RNDY) and now relies on Kroger for corporate functions, procurement scale, and capital allocation; total sales are stated at nearly $4.0 billion with more than 25,000 employees, though dedicated revenue fields in the provided data are not populated. No current leadership team, M&A activity, partnerships, patents, certifications, or product launches are disclosed beyond the Kroger parent relationship and the three operating banners.
