Anyone know if the dev lurks here? I'm wondering if there's a way to fork his code or add Kroger functionality to it. If im not mistaken Kroger is a safeway acquisition that is a popular grocer in the south/southwest of the USA. this would be very helpful for those of us without safeways.

Kroger is the second largest supermarket in the US (after Walmart) that has many subsidiaries grocery chains that they have acquired in its 100+ years of existence. Pretty much Kroger bought up other "family" grocery chains and then keeps those chains local names such as Dillons, Frys, King Soopers, City Market, Gerbes, Kwik Mart, etc.

Safeway by contrast is part of the Albertson and Albertsons and its Subsidiaries is the 3rd largest Supermarket chain.

Kroger is separate company unrelated to Safeway.
