Mariano's parent company Kroger has agreed to buy Jewel owner Albertson's in a deal estimated at over $20 billion.

As a grocery super chain, the combined companies would still be a distant second in market share behind Walmart and face growing competition from Amazon, which owns Whole Foods Market. The move comes as grocery store shoppers depend less on brick and mortar locations and more on online ordering.

Some analysts say the new company could possibly help slow food price inflation by using its power to reject food producer price increases.

FTC should make them divest some stores in Chicago

WHAT? So one company will own almost all of the grocery stores in Chicago? When Kroger bought Mariano's it was obvious - not in a good way.

What happened to the Sherman Antitrust Act?

Sounds like a monopoly- are the jewel staffs nervous? They are not Mariano’s Caliver - they better step up their game.

Choice will go down. Prices will go up. Just as Jewel was getting a little better. Poor for Chicago.

ALDI will always be my 1st choice

Terrible idea, we would have 3 stores with 2 miles of us owned by the same company. People will loose jobs

Booooooo Kroger already ruined mariano's
