CINCINNATI AND BOISE, IDAHO — Cincinnati-based The Kroger Co. and Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons Cos. Inc. have announced plans to sell an additional 166 grocery stores to C&S Wholesale Grocers in a divestiture package. This marks an amendment to an existing agreement with the buyer, which will now acquire a total of 579 stores in a $2.9 billion deal. The original divestiture package was announced in September of last year, in connection with a proposed merger between Kroger and Albertsons. In February, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued to block Kroger’s $24.6 billion acquisition of Albertsons (which was originally announced October 2022), citing anticompetition concerns. The FTC alleged in a press release that a merger between the companies would create a “monopoly” as well as “lead to lower quality products and services” and threaten “the ability of employees to secure higher wages, better benefits and improved working conditions.” The deal would mark the largest supermarket merger in U.S. history, with Kroger and Albertsons operating thousands of stores nationally. Colorado and Washington also filed measures at the state level to block the merger. The companies hope to assuage the concerns of federal and state antitrust regulators with the enhanced divestiture package. According to …
