The company’s goal is to “pass through our inflation to consumers,” Groff said in response to questions about his email. In May 2022, for example, both Walmart and Meijer dropped egg prices by 14 cents a dozen, but Mariano’s opted to keep its pricing the same to match the higher price at Jewel-Osco, Marx said.

Still Groff pushed back on the idea that Kroger would hike prices after the acquisition, saying that Walmart would keep the combined grocers from charging customers more.
