A trial seeking to block the proposed merger between the supermarket chains opened Monday in Denver District Court.

Dozens of union members and supporters turned out for a rally on the steps of the City and County Building in Denver on Sept. 30, 2024. The group turned out for the rally to show their opposition to the Kroger-Albertsons merger.
