Stewart was previously vice president of merchandising at Kroger’s Seattle-based QFC chain, a position she has held since 2011.
"Marlene combines a passion for people and proven merchandising and operations leadership," said Kroger president and chief operating officer Mike Ellis. "We look forward to Marlene bringing her knowledge of our customers and business, and commitment to our associates, to the Dillons team."
Stewart joined Kroger in 1977 as a bagger in the company’s Cincinnati division, where she worked full time while attending the University of Cincinnati. She went on to serve in many leadership roles at the company’s Cincinnati headquarters, before being named director of operations for Kroger’s Mid-Atlantic division in 2005.
