- Albertsons grocery merger

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Alaska’s U.S. senators are teaming up in an effort to halt or delay the Kroger-Albertsons merger which will affect hundreds of stores across the country, including more than a dozen in Alaska.

Both senators agree the merger goes against the best interests of Alaskans, and the state as a whole. There are too many unanswered questions, including how it might affect consumer prices, food security, and union contracts. “Alaskans are justifiably concerned that this potential merger will mean fewer grocery stores with even more expensive groceries on the shelves,” said Senator Lisa Murkowski. “Alaskans need to be confident that these uncertainties about access and price will be addressed.”
