"Ralphs and Food 4 Less are great places to work where you can come for a job and stay for a career," Doyel added. "We are committed to creating great entry-level jobs and investing in our associates so they can reach their full potential.

The hiring announcement is part of a much bigger jobs initiative by Ralphs and Food 4 Less' parent company, the Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), to fill an estimated 11,000 jobs in its supermarket divisions across the country.

Kroger has made talent development a core driver with its Restock Kroger Plan. As part of Restock Kroger, the company plans to invest an incremental $500 million in wages, training and development over the next three years. This will be in addition to Kroger's continued efforts to rebalance pay and benefits while also focusing on certifications and performance incentives, career opportunities and training.

Kroger has also committed to invest a significant portion of the tax benefit it received from the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in its associates' future, which the company plans to announce in detail later this month.

Over the last decade, Kroger, Ralphs and Food 4 Less have added 100,000 new jobs in the communities their stores serve across the United States.
