Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Just looking at their own store locator, yes there are plenty of holes in it. There are gaps all along I-15 all the way through Temecula (where Albertsons has a 2 to 1 store ratio in the entire valley for example). Are there some areas where there's concentration? Sure. But there are plenty of spot...

Re: Vons Lake Elsinore Closing May 4th
This former Vons store will become an EōS Fitness location this year. The Walmart in the same shopping center, which relocated 2 exits north at the end of March, 2021 in a new build space and upgraded to a Walmart SuperCenter, will become a boat dealership. https://patch.com/california/lakeelsinore-...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
WA lawsuit filed. CNBC reporting a joint statement from Kroger, Albertsons, and C&S announcing that the merger close is now delayed and "they expect it to close by the first half of Kroger's fiscal year." Which would mean if they got approval they now would not close until at least mi...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
In the areas where Albertsons is strongest in the IE Stater has holes in their network of stores. They're only saturated in San Bernardino County where Ralphs is virtually non existing and Albertsons is weak. Many Stater gaps in Riverside County where it appears they're second place to Albertsons. ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Yet the FTC has indeed allowed a lot of other silliness over the last two decades that has not been allowed before. I would wait before you automatically write this one off. I know it would create a giant monster, but the government loves giant monsters these days. I work for the government. I alre...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I am going to slightly disagree about divestitures to Stater Brothers being negative to competition in the broad IE. On the whole, yes, they are fully deployed in the IE, but just a little east of there in the Coachella Valley, they have no coverage in the submarkets along 111 (essentially no store...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
They are not talking about anything other than the FTC extending the deadline beyond January 17. This is complete silliness. The FTC and multiple states are going to sue to block it. Yet the FTC has indeed allowed a lot of other silliness over the last two decades that has not been allowed before. ...
