Bernard Kroger was quite a chap,

With grocery stores that filled the gap,

He sold the finest goods with care,

And always aimed to please and spare.

From milk and bread to fruits and sweets,

His shelves were stocked with plenty of treats,

And customers would line up fast,

To shop at Kroger, first-class.

His name became synonymous with class,

Shopping at Kroger was simply a blast,

And till this day, it still holds,

That Bernard Kroger knew what to do.

Bernard Kroger, a name quite well-known,

In the grocery world, he surely has grown.

He started with a simple corner store,

But now his chain is spread from shore to 

Shore.

With a vision to bring fresh food to all,

He built his business, big and tall.

And with each new store, he´d add his touch,

Making shopping easier and oh so much.

He offered customers all that they needed,

And with his fair prices and friendly vibe,

Shoppers couldn´t help but take his side.

So here´s to Bernard, a man of great worth,

Who gave us Kroger, our shopping heart.

And though he´s gone, his legacy lives on,

In the store that bears his name, and always

Will until dawn.
