Baker's Supermarkets

Baker's Supermarkets

Baker's is a supermarket chain operating primarily in the metro area of Omaha, Nebraska. It is owned by Kroger.

History

Abe Baker started his first grocery store in Walnut, Iowa in 1927. His first Omaha-area store opened in Bellevue, Nebraska in 1947, and his first in Omaha itself (at 73rd and Maple Streets) started in 1957. In 1971, Abe's two sons, Jack and Bob, took on more management responsibility. The Baker family sold the chain to food wholesaler Fleming Companies in 1992. Kroger purchased the Baker's stores from Fleming in 2001 after Fleming ran into financial problems. In 2004, three former Albertson's grocery stores in Omaha were purchased and turned into Baker's stores after Albertson's withdrew from the Omaha market.
