Proposed #Kroger #Albertsons #megamerger affects future of #FredMeyer, #Safeway, #Vons, #Osco, #Food4Less, #HarrisTeeter #QFC stores too. Together, the two chains operate approx 5 thousand of consolidated #RetailStores under varous #BrandNames across #US and have annual revenue of more than $209 billion.

#AntiTrust issues arise everywhere, with nearly 200 #grocerystores between them in #Oregon alone, many within a mile of each other. State Attorney Generals have sought to block the massive #merger, but everyone knows #BigMoney talks loudest.

To meet #FTC requirements this week the chains announced plan to #divest at least 400 #stores to a single #SoftBank backed holding corp that operates #PigglyWiggly
