."Albertsons Cos. brings a complementary footprint and operates in several parts of the country with very few or no Kroger stores. This merger advances our commitment to build a more equitable and sustainable food system by expanding our footprint into new geographies to serve more of America with fresh and affordable food, and accelerates our positions as a more compelling alternative to larger and non-union competitors.
"This is the type of transaction that really looks good on paper, but the actual practicality of achieving regulatory approval by the FTC could be difficult," Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst Jennifer Bartashus toldKroger and Albertsons say they'll sell some of their stores to their competitors—and may move between 100 to 375 of their stores into a new stand-alone company to lessen the effects of a monopoly.
Kroger Co. currently has about 2,800 stores in 35 states under banners like Kroger, Ralphs, Dillons, King Soopers, QFC, and Harris Teeter. Albertsons has some 2,200 locations under brands like Albertsons, Vons, and Safeway.
