Kroger district four store manager Teron Abdullah and Kroger district seven store manager Janai McMillian talk with Kentucky State University graduate Malik Abdullah and graduate student Rene? Morrison during the Career Fair at the Exum Center Thursday.

Teron Abdullah, a 2010 graduate of Kentucky State University, worked his way through college as a night stocker at a local Kroger store. After earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration, he hoped to work as a banker, but realized it wasn’t a good fit. So he entered the 25-week management-training program at Kroger, something he says fits his outgoing personality and penchant for problem solving. It isn’t what Abdullah expected, but he’s hopeful it will open the door to a variety of jobs with the grocery chain.
