Food retailers in Dallas-Fort Worth may be hesitant to make any huge moves next year untilto buy Albertsons plays out. In this market, it’s not just two brands joining under one corporate umbrella, it’s four: Kroger and Albertsons, which also owns Tom Thumb and Market Street.
It’s also pretty certain that government approval would require the combined company to sell several local stores. It’s also likely that H-E-B, which also owns Dallas-based Central Market, will begin disclosing plans to bring its ethnic brand, Mi Tienda, and its lower-cost grocer, Joe V’s Smart Shop, to the local market.
While the chains battle for market share, consumers facing food inflation will be focused on finding values in prepared foods and private-label products, Gibbs said.
HEB getting richer by the week. In 2020 a 60 count case of eggs was $6.40. Last week it was $18.81. Today is $23.18!

In five years HEB will just about have a monopoly in DFW. That's how it works.
By somehow raising their prices even further until H‑E‑B finally and completely takes over the region. Kroger. Not even once. 👎
In 5 years DFW will be like 95% HEB. Want a case study? Look at Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Waco, Lubbock, College Station, San Angelo, Brownsville, Laredo......etc
