The planned divestiture of the stores is linked to the grocery giants’ efforts to assuage concerns voiced by regulators related to their proposed deal for Kroger to acquire Albertsons. C&S Wholesale Grocers is the company slated to buy the stores. Their sale is supposed to happen after the completion of the Kroger-Albertsons merger, according to an April press release.
Kroger and Albertsons first said in September 2023 that 413 stores would go to C&S and then, in April, upped the amount by 166 to its current count as part of a larger, updated divestiture plan.
Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen said in April, as the company announced the updated divestiture plan, that it "continues to ensure no stores will close as a result of the merger and that all frontline associates will remain employed, all existing collective bargaining agreements will continue, and associates will continue to receive industry-leading health care and pension benefits alongside bargained-for wages.
