Kroger has appointed Greg Foran as its new CEO, while an 18-year-old suspect in a Canadian school shooting, who had prior mental health contact with police, was found dead after the attack that killed eight people. Meanwhile, Uber Eats launched an AI-powered grocery assistant, and political discussions continue to swirl around Donald Trump's continued focus on the 2020 election and potential 2028 presidential candidates.
Foran, a longtime retail executive, is taking the helm of the $43 billion supermarket retailer. According to Fortune, this marks the third time Foran will be leading a billion-dollar company. His career began at Woolworths, a popular supermarket chain in New Zealand, where he started stocking shelves. "I actually never went to university," Foran said on the "Between Two Beers" podcast, highlighting his non-traditional path to the top.
In Canada, police identified Jesse Van Rootselaar as the suspect in a school shooting in British Columbia. NPR Politics reported that the 18-year-old had a history of mental health contact with police. The attack resulted in eight fatalities.
Uber Eats has introduced "Cart Assistant," an AI-powered feature designed to streamline grocery shopping. TechCrunch noted that the feature allows users to upload lists or images to automatically populate their carts, leveraging previous order data for personalization. This move aims to enhance user experience and help Uber Eats compete with rivals like Instacart and DoorDash, who have also integrated AI tools.
Political discussions continue to dominate headlines. Vox reported that former President Donald Trump remains focused on the 2020 election, despite winning the 2024 election. His director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has reportedly spent months seeking evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
Additionally, political commentator James Carville has named Illinois Governor JB Pritzker as the strongest Democratic option for the 2028 presidential race, according to Fox News. Pritzker himself acknowledges his billionaire status as a potential obstacle, referencing challenges faced during his successful gubernatorial campaigns.
