As part of those ongoing talks and in an effort to convince federal regulators to allow the merger to proceed, the companies agreed to sell nearly 600 stores to C & S in April 2024. Those stores weren't identified at the time, but on Tuesday a press release identified the 35 stores in Illinois that would be part of the sale.
