Stores inside shopping malls are not part of daily reports, so a report covers fewer stores and cities than the site lists. Each store reports a curated assortment of commonly bought products, not its full catalog, so "lowest in-stock rates" describe the stores Aisles covers, not every store in the area. ## In-stock rate by store | Store | Chain | Listings with a status | In-stock rate | Out of stock | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Kroger Ireland](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/south-bend/kroger-ireland-south-bend-02100903) | Kroger | 257 | 93.0% | 18 | | [Kroger Hively](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/elkhart/kroger-hively-elkhart-02100886) | Kroger | 261 | 92.7% | 19 | | [Kroger Merrifield](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/mishawaka/kroger-merrifield-mishawaka-02100938) | Kroger | 254 | 89.4% | 27 | | [Kroger Plymouth](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/plymouth/kroger-plymouth-plymouth-02100963) | Kroger | 261 | 88.5% | 30 | | [Kroger Town Country](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/mishawaka/kroger-town-country-mishawaka-02100889) | Kroger | 258 | 88.4% | 30 | | [Kroger Goshen](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend/goshen/kroger-goshen-goshen-02100879) | Kroger | 262 | 85.5% | 38 | ## More - [All cities on November 5, 2026](https://aislesinventory.com/reports/2026-11-05) - [South Bend, IN store inventory](https://aislesinventory.com/south-bend) - [All reports](https://aislesinventory.com/reports) ## How this report was made Snapshot: for every store and product, the most recent retailer-reported observation retrieved by the end of the report date (UTC). Observations past their freshness window count as "status unknown". In-stock rate: listings reported in stock or low stock, divided by listings with a reported status (in stock, low stock or out of stock). Listings whose status the retailer did not report are excluded from the rate and counted separately. Prices: store prices as reported by the retailer, including any promotion it reported. City and chain comparisons use only current readings with a price, take the median store price per product, and compare only identical products (the same Kroger product ID, which is the item’s UPC, so package sizes match). A chain pair is shown only when 10 or more products were priced at both. Aisles verified them against each store’s own records at the time shown (not an in-person shelf count). A store’s own system can occasionally be wrong or delayed. ## Questions shoppers ask ### What was hardest to find in the South Bend, IN area on November 5, 2026?
