Food 4 Less and Foods Co. are chains of food and pharmacy warehouse stores. Both are owned by the Kroger Company.

Food 4 Less Stores owned by Kroger operate in California (Los Angeles and south), Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, and Nevada. Foods Co Stores operate north of Los Angeles. Kroger does not have the rights to the Food 4 Less names in markets occupied by Foods Co.

There are other stores scattered throughout the country with the Food 4 Less name, part of franchise agreements with various wholesalers including Unified Western Grocers and Associated Wholesale Grocers Midwest. These stores have particular penetration in Oregon and central and northern California. Food 4 Less was previously used by Fleming, but as Fleming exited various regions and ultimately collapsed, the rights to the name went to wholesalers who picked up some of Fleming's former customers.
