Kroger to buy Albertsons?

<< < (41/42) > >>

Ted$8roadFan:
Having just visited a local Shaw’s, which along with Star Market is owned by Albertsons, I can only say that (for now) Kroger buying Albertsons would be a good thing. Besides being more expensive, Star/Shaw’s appear dated and designed for a different era (i.e. before CVS, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, et al got in the grocery business).

kkt:
Some mergers result in the things you don't like being spread around, rather than the ones you do like.

Here is more on the proposed deal if approved.

WillWeaverRVA:
Kroger is going to divest 413 Kroger and Albertsons (and affiliated) locations to C&S Wholesale Grocers as part of the merger agreement. C&S is best known as the owners of a Piggly Wiggly franchise in North Carolina, but they also have a history of taking over smaller, failing grocery chains.
