Phoenix Shoppers Beware: Bogus $250 Kroger Coupon Circulating

PHOENIX, AZ — Phoenix shoppers beware: A phony Kroger coupon claiming to be worth $250 is making the rounds on social media.

Kroger, based in Cincinnati, warned Monday of the unauthorized coupon. The Kroger Co. owns 123 food stores in Arizona — including more than a dozen Fry's food stores in the Phoenix area — and employs more than 19,000 associates.

“This giveaway is not affiliated with or supported by the Kroger Company,” the company said. “We recommend not engaging with the site or providing any personal information.”

The company has about 2,800 stores across the country and employs more than 431,000 associates across 45 states.

Kroger said it is actively working to address the issue. Below is a photo of the counterfeit coupon.
