A new report from Kroger-owned data company 84.51° offers a profile of "hybrid shoppers."

Omnichannel shoppers, also commonly referred to as hybrid shoppers, combine in-store and online shopping and make up approximately three-quarters of Kroger's customers, according to a new report from 84.51°, the Cincinnati-based grocer's data and media company.

According to 84.51°’s February Consumer Digest study, which surveyed Kroger customers over a 52-week period, omnichannel shoppers are more likely to be Millennial, have children and place a higher value on natural and organic products than the average customer.
