The $24.6-billion merger of Kroger and Albertsons supermarkets was designed to enrich corporate insiders at the expense of consumers. It won't be missed.

The inside stories of messy marriage breakups have been an entertainment staple since even before Tolstoy observed that 'every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' So let's thank the supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons, whose $24.6-billion merger has collapsed amid mutual recriminations, for their outstanding contribution to the genre. The proximate cause of the breakup was the granting of a preliminary injunction against the deal by U.S. Judge Adrienne Nelson of Oregon.

9-million settlement with the attorneys general of Los Angeles County and six other California counties as well as the FTC over accusations that the chain ripped off customers at hundreds of its Vons, Safeway and Albertsons stores in California. The company didn’t admit to liability in settling the case, but the terms of the final judgment suggest that the counties and the FTC had the goods — or at least had enough evidence that Albertsons thought it wise to make the case go away.
