Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen forced to quit over scandalous ‘personal conduct’

The CEO of grocery store giant Kroger has been forced to resign over mysterious ‘personal conduct.’

Rodney McMullen’s departure was announced Monday morning. Bosses refused to detail the scandal beyond saying that it was ‘unrelated to the business’ and ‘inconsistent with Kroger’s policy on business ethics.’

McMullen himself alerted the board to ‘certain personal conduct’ on February 21 this year.

Independent lawyers were drafted in to probe his behavior. Kroger insisted the scandal ‘is not related to the company’s financial performance, operations or reporting. ‘ 

McMullen was named Kroger’s CEO in 2014 and chairman in 2015. He held both positions until his dismissal.

Lead director Ronald Sargeant has been appointed interim CEO in the wake of McMullen’s departure.
