The world's largest supermarket chain is U.S.-based Kroger Co., with $119.0 billion in retail revenue in fiscal year (FY) 2017. Kroger is also the third-largest retail company in the world based on revenue, behind Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp., according to the "Global Powers of Retailing 2019." The annual report on retailers worldwide is produced by accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd.
