“The trial is set to begin on September 30 and my office looks forward to making the case that this merger will eliminate competition and impact food prices, jobs and consumer choice,” Colorado State Attorney Phil Weiser said in a statement.Washington’s attorney general was the first to challenge Kroger’s proposed buying of smaller rival Albertsons in January. The Colorado lawsuit was set for a hearing on August 12.
“Today’s decision is welcome news as it eliminates the need for a preliminary injunction hearing in Colorado,” a Kroger spokesperson said.“The merger is not a done deal, far from it,” a statement from a coalition of unions said. “We remain focused on stopping the proposed mega-merger for the same reasons we have stated since it was first announced over 20 months ago — because we know it would harm workers, it would harm shoppers, it would harm suppliers and communities and it is illegal.
